Trisha believes in a gentle but firm approach. She believes that it is important to build a good relationship with the students. Trisha explains, “The more they like you and respect you the more willing they will be to do what you ask them. With that though, you have to know where the line is. If you are too friendly with them then you lose their respect and they will walk all over you.”
