Teaching character and having sociable communication with your students is a good step to improving realationships with them. It also helps you explain your expectations to your students. There are lots of times when students do not know how to act in a group environment. Even when they are taught how to act some are taught to act violently. I have kids, as most teachers do, that have been told by their parents if someone is messing with them then they need to get back at them. This usually involves a fight. There are many times that I have to explain to my students that the way that they have been taught to act home is different then what is expected at school.
Also a student can feel out their emotions about a problem through talking. Too many kids have learned to react when they are mad. Insead of thinking or talking about the situation they would just rather punch the problem out. Talking gives them time to calm down and and look at the problem in a calm manner. Then it can be resolved in a more peaceful manner.
The more that you communicate your expectations to your students and listen to them the more they will be willing to accept your imput. The more you help them the more they will trust you. Eventually that aggressive student can become your best student.
