does the teachers appearance in class effect on students?

Great question!  As a former teacher, and a student for a long time!!! I would say, yes it does affect students.  Maybe on an unconscious level, but yes.  Students look up to teachers-- what's inside the teacher matters more than what's outside, but you see the outside first. . .

The teacher sometimes gives a class/teacher evaluation to her students to fill out.  This needs to be administered by someone other than the teacher, with the teacher out of the room, and the results need to be anonymous.

Have every student thank the teacher/s that influenced them the most. Tell the teachers why they made a differece in your lives. Teachers strive to make a difference in their student's lives and to hear that they made a difference will make them feel like they not only did their jobs but went the extra mile. Bring some tissues 'cause there will be many tears shed during the ceramony.

DEPENDS ON HOW DEICATED BOTH THE TEACHER AND STUDENT ARE

It's called tenure and teachers also have to go through a performance review by their supervisors, other teachers, and students.  It is still in effect to my knowledge, mostly at colleges and universities.

Yes, ...Because Considering The Position That A Teacher In School Holds, They Are Not Suppose To Be There To  Downgrade & Intemidate Students....They Are There For An Example And To Upgrade And Prepare You Students To Be Productive For Society!...So, Yes!...That Teacher Is Not Valuble To The Students And Needs To Be EXPOSED & DISMISSED!!

i dont think there's a big impact. Mostly, these students watch movies primarily for entertainment. However, it also depends on the type of students and the quality of schools they are in. But you'll seldom meet students who watch movies for English enhancements.  There are even times when they wont bother understanding what the character says in the movie as long as they can understand the story through actions and gestures of the characters.

During my graduate studies in Education/Curriculum & Instruction, I remember learning about how flourescent lighting in schools affects students with ADD, so your theory has support.  I personally put lamps all around my classroom and made sure to have the blinds up at all times to maximize the amount of natural light in the room.  While I couldn't quickly find anything in an online search, I just wanted to let you know that I had heard of this and agree with you that it definitely plays a role.

Smaller class sizes. More 1 on 1 contact between student & teacher.

Race and gender are the biggest two. Followed by religion and, surprisingly enough, height. Students tend to have less respect for a short teacher than a tall one as they feel they can physically intimidate them.

Yes, they disrupt class and cause problems for both the teacher and fellow students.  They can also cause problems with the Internet operations; if you haven't noticed that in a classroom.\n\nMany schools already try to make students turn them off during classes, and I fully support the practice of confiscating a phone that is in use during classtime.  During your own time it is acceptable; in classes you are there for one purpose only and that is learning.\n\nTo answer a previous concern, if there is an emergency during the classtime, the same time-old tried and true method would be used -- that of contacting the office.  It has worked for the past few centuries, and there is nothing to prevent that for its continued success.

Class Attendance And Make-Up Work\nThe College recognizes the importance of punctuality, regular attendance, proper work habits, and attitudes that are found in the workplace. All programs, while differing in how they are implemented, follow an overall college policy that encourages regular class attendance.\n\nYou are expected to attend all class meetings for the courses in which you have enrolled. Absence results in the loss of instruction and interferes with your learning. Absence will not lessen your responsibility for meeting the requirements of any course, and does not excuse you from the responsibility for completing the work you missed. The specific attendance and make-up policies of each instructor are contained in the course orientation information and/or course syllabus. \n\nYou are encouraged to be aware of the amount of class time you might miss when considering whether or not to participate in extracurricular activities.\n\nWhen there are extenuating circumstances resulting in absences, notify and work with your instructors in handling your make-up work.

Public School: Yes because it will show come class. Public schools are unfortunatley given a bad name at times. The kids are not looked at as smart and are looked as trouble makers. In society today people go by looks and their first impressions. Imagine seeing a nicely dressed teenager walking across the street, then imagine a teenager with a Doo Rag or something on. Right off the bat you make an assumption, without even knowing the person. The old fashion reasons are the ones listed above, but look deeper. Imagine someone goes to an interview with T-shirt, and the other with a suit. Which would you pick. See what I mean.

Suspended for 3 weeks as i led the whole class on a boycott of a particular teacher. He literally chased us round to get back in class. That was more than 13years ago. But i got on good terms with the teacher after the boycott. And i was made Prefect of class. Never had any blotch record though. I went on to University. I'd freak out if i hear any of my kids doing anything like that!

I understand your frustration.  I have taught high school for 8 years and it is very discouraging at times to see the situations that exist in the classroom.  First of all, there is a mandate that Special Education students be mainstreamed into the general classroom population.  I have had a class of 34 students with 9 Spec. Ed. students (this is becoming more and more typical).  There are supposed to be teacher's aides to help in classes like that, but school budgets are spent so unwisely, at times, that there is no money for a teacher's aide for every teacher with a significant amount of Spec. Ed. students (who either have a learning disability, a behavioral disability, or an emotional disability).  This leaves the teacher and the students at a disadvantage.  Teachers now use more time on class management than on class instruction.  And, it's not just because of Spec. Ed. students.  For some reason many students like to "dumb down" on their own as to not be ridiculed by their peers for being too smart, a nerd, or a "lame".  School administration look at teachers with disdain and often let go of teachers with too high of a failure rate, so many teachers, when presented with a class or classes that do not produce on the expected level then create a curriculum that they feel the students have a chance to pass, even if it does not prepare a student to be on level.  Our educational system is in deep need of reforms that work, not just reforms that look good on paper but have no substance or effectiveness in the classroom or to the students.  I try to prepare students for high school and beyond, whether they are college bound, interested in vocational training, or ready to work once they graduate.  Teaching is a many tiered profession (teacher, counselor, mentor) if children are to be educated properly.  I worry about the same things you do, but I also know that the big decisions about education often do not rest upon  teachers' shoulders, but on an administration that is often too long out of the classroom to remember or know the things that work and the things that do not.  I only hope that it gets better before it continues getting worse.

Not at all. If they are a good teacher, they are a good teacher. Put it this way; do you recall being influenced by your teachers sexuality one bit? I know I ceratinly wasn't. Things like homosexuality are part of the world, hiding it away from kids is not the answer.

It depends on the class.  Some classes don't care about attendance.  So, you just have to show up for the exams.  Other professors are more strict and will take attendance, especially if the class is smaller.  They each have their own individual requirements.
