Sustaining relationships

The book touched on how being allies at school is complicated by the fact that there is so much changeover of relationships. Teachers move between classes, students have different teachers every school year, so it can be difficult to sustain relationships but also it means that people do change teachers when they might have problematic attitudes. This made me think about schools in which teachers follow students through the grades. On the one hand, teachers have the opportunity to really deepen their allyship with their students, but also students can be stuck for more years in spaces they don't feel accepted. Like so many other things when stakes are raised, the rewards and dangers are heightened.
