Abstract
This paper examines the effect of the teacher on the performance of Indian students. Unlike the ethnocentric teacher who treats Indian students as deficient and inferior in intellectual, language, and social skills, the cultural relativist admires Indian culture and encourages Indian students to preserve their culture. Unfortunately, because of his or her patronizing attitude and insistence on a romanticized version of aboriginal life, the cultural relativist often is confronted with Indian students who are as silent and unresponsive as they are in the classes of the ethnocentric teacher. This paper analyzes the bases of this problem in teachers' misinterpretation of anthropological theory.
