Teachers: The good and the bad

My favorite teacher I have ever had was Mrs. Zehms, my third grade teacher. I think what made her such a great teacher was the fact that you knew she was having just as much fun teaching as she did when she stared working 20 years earlier. She still had the drive to help all the children in her class succeed. She definately went above and beyond the call of duty for me. My best friend in elemantary school, Zack, had diabetes and he would have to leave math class right before lunch to get an insulin shot. She made it a priority to help him get caught up. Also I loved how eccentric she was. She was kind of like a kid herself. Those as are the best qualities you can have a teacher.

Some of my worst teachers are a totally different story. I wont name any names but some of the qualities they all posess is you can tell they cant wait until they retire. They basically ae counting down the days until they retire. Also my chemistry teacher would just assume you know things about an atom or an ion. So when they tried to explain to you what we were supposed to do you didnt understand what he was saying. But above all the worst quality a techaer can have is not wanting to help a student when they need help. Those kind of teachers that the student is too scared to approach the teacher because they will get mad. Those are the worse qualities you can have as a teacher.
