Teacher vs. Subject

I was talking with my principal a few days ago. He was trying to find a choir teacher who could relate to the students better. He said that most students will take an elective class because they like the teacher more than the subject. Then, after they have had the class for a while they begin to like the subject too.I have seen a steady rise in students taking my classes as I have become a better teacher. I had so many students sign up for my class next year that they almost had me do an early morning class to handle the demand. I will have a total of about 550 students spread out over the year. This make it hard for me to get to know each and every one of them like I would like to.
