Should the teachers do this?
Should friendships be made by teachers for new kids or they should not interfere with the children's friendship?

Interfering too much in children's friendships may actually have a negative impact, as it can create dependency and prevent children from developing social skills and problem-solving abilities on their own. Teachers can provide guidance and support when needed, but ultimately it's important to let children develop and navigate their own social relationships.

I agree with you, Shanesha. Let them make friends and develop their social skills.Shanesha Sammerson wrote: โ07 May 2023, 19:47 While it's natural for teachers to want to help new students settle in and make friends, they need to strike a balance between guidance and interference. Teachers can create a welcoming environment by encouraging classroom activities that foster positive interactions and teamwork, but ultimately, the responsibility of forming friendships should be left to the children themselves.

- Latest Review: This May Be Difficult to Read by Claire Rubman
This is a great idea! I definitely think teachers should help new students acclimate to the environment if possible. I was pretty shy though, and I don't think I would've wanted someone to be assigned as my buddy. I think a teacher should have specific guidelines to follow for the "buddy," like they just show the new student how to do the assignments that are new or how to get to the bathroom/playground, etc. for the first few days. That way if the student doesn't want to have a "buddy" then they could still be mostly left to their own devices.Patty Allread wrote: โ07 May 2023, 12:30 I think this is okay, but I wouldn't call the person a "friend" because it implies a level of relationship that may not be real to the children. I think assigning a "buddy" or "guide" might be better until the student acclimates.
