ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the interplay of personalities on the social and emotional side, though there is no denying that this interaction of personalities can have a profound effect on the learning process. As with the male students and male teachers, the female students who first attended a co-educational school judged the pupil-teacher relationship with the women on the staff to be much pleasanter than did those students who attended a girls' school first, and this finding is repeated by the estimates of the 'last school' students. Pupils are occasionally painfully aware of what teachers think about them, and so are teachers about their pupils, though not quite in the same way. A school is an institution to which is delegated the upbringing of young people for many hours of the day. It is no longer a place merely for the learning of knowledge, but is concerned with the social and emotional development of its pupils.
