Some relationships a Many to Many, usually requiring a third 'join' (or 'union') table.  And examples is:

One Teacher, Many Classes  <>  One Class , Many Teachers ..... with a table to link the common  ID's

Also,

One Teacher, Many Students<>  One Student, Many Teachers ..... with a table to link the common  ID's
