The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of teacher's support on children's school life. In this study, how the children perceive the teacher's support by grade, gender and school achievement was examined. It was also examined that correlation between the teacher's support children perceive and peer relations showed differently by the grade and gender. The subject is from second grade to sixth grade elementary school students.The class teacher's support was examined by four subcategories such as emotional, informative, evaluative and material support and the school's attachment was examined by reliance and respect.First, it was examined that the class teacher's support children perceive was influenced differently by the children's school achievement and grade. In the emotional, informative, and evaluative support, the higher school achievement students had, the more they felt the class teacher's support. But in the material support, there in no meaningful difference and grade was in the same case.Second, it was examined that the class teacher's support the children perceive was made differently by the student's school achievement and gender. Overall as their school achievement were higher, they felt the class teacher's school achievement more and there is no meaningful statistical difference between men and women. This is the same result as former research that gender is no important in the social support and perceptionThird, it was examined that grade made it different the correlation between the class teacher's support children perceive and their relations. In second, fourth, fifth and sixth grade, reliance revealed high relation with evaluative support. In the third grade, it has high relation with emotional support. In the second and sixth grade, respect revealed high relation with evaluative support. In the third, forth, and fifth grade, emotional factor is the highest. Overall the peer relations was involved highly in the emotional and evaluative support.Fourth, It was examined that the grade made it different the correlation between class teacher's support the children perceive and peer relations. But this doesn't make a big difference.As a factor, teacher was supposed to impact on children's ability perception indirectly and make the social support to children. Because it reflected the potential possibility of success. This theory was assumed the class teacher's support impact on the children's perception. Therefore if we figure out the teacher's support involved in the peer relations and encouraged them, we can make their peer relations level up. Besides there is big correlation between the class teacher's support the children perceive and peer relations. The teacher can support to make children adapt to social environment easily and successfully throughout children's social behavior development. These are very important in the education and give them a great help to adapt their future.
