The main contradiction in teaching practice comes from teachers and students, who constitute the main relationship in schools and embody the value of teaching activities.Therefore, the teacher-student relationship is a long-lasting topic in education. However,developing good teacher-student relationship needs the support of many aspects. With the rapid development of economy and society, people are faced up with various fierce competition and pressure in life, gradually resulting in people the relationship of possessing and being possessed. People regard "possessing others" as condition for success, which is especially true among the young for utilitarian reasons. Consequently,people lost the warmth of life and life becomes full of materialistic numbness and rigidity,the value of human life cannot be found, human nature is lost and the contemporary teacher-student relationship is even distorted. -The traditional binary opposition of the subject and the object, combined with the transformation of the society places teachers in the dominant position of teaching, "ruling" students with knowledge. In teaching,some teachers seek maximum interests even at the expense of education efforts, doggedly cramming students with knowledge without thinking of change. In a lifeless education,students only learn to "rob" knowledge for a higher grade instead of understanding knowledge, thinking learning nothing but a tool for gaining success. With this going on,the relationship between teachers and students becomes cold. Teachers lack teaching motivation and students’ creativity and self fulfillment decrease or even disappear. This does harm to the development of teachers and students, making it difficult for education to continue. In this background, the construction of a new teacher-student relationship has become the most urgent task.This paper focuses on the new productive teacher-student relationship. Fromm believes that "productive" refers to the personality that people realize their potential with their own power. In Fromm’s view, the productive personality is one that enables people go upward, and people are full of love and care. People with productive personality can not only have a strong initiative, but also can realize their own potential and creativity continuously to perfect themselves. Productive love is the expression of others’ potential,constantly instilling in others respect,understanding, care and responsibility. The expression of these love not only fosters intimate emotion between people, but also contribute to better them. If teachers blindly control students with authority and cram students with knowledge, their teaching will become lifeless. This cannot stimulate students’ curiosity and interest but make their learning life dull without vigor and rob them of innovative thinking, making them unable to realize their potential. On the one hand, the productive teacher-student relationship require teachers to give students productive love, which enables students to realize their potential in this kind of relationship and learn to care for others under teachers’ mature love; on the other hand,this helps teachers to identify with their teaching value. This is a process that concerns the liberation of human nature for both teachers and students. On the whole, the productive teacher-student relationship is interactive, caring, spiritual and developing,which turns the one-directional rigid possessive teacher-student relationship into a bi-directional dynamic one, echoing the life value of teachers and students.In order to build a productive relationship between teachers and students, this paper sets out to put forward the strategy of feasibility construction, including the principle of being open to others, learning to give and loving each other; cultivating teachers’productive awareness, improving productive quality, enhancing productive management ability; constructing the system condition from the reform of educational objectives,curriculum set-up and assessment standards and creating a productive campus culture, so as to light upon some idea for the construction of a new teacher-student relationship.
