Saroj, this is really what the Guide is all about. If you are too controlling or too much of a buddy you can lose control over your classroom and your students but a guide knows when to provide the right level of control and buddy aspects into the classroom. You are there to educate your students and not to build lifelong friendships. The funny thing is, for those instructors that demand the best out of their students, many end up with life long relationships out of respect and adulation for the effort provided.
