Top Ten Qualities of a Good School Teacher

My math teacher never tells me off for anything, so kind. Thinks I'm funny.

My psychology teacher is so caring! He knows about my situation with being bullied, my anxiety, and my depression. He tells me that his door is always open if I want to talk to him.

He's literally the best teacher ever! Dr. Perrone is the most awesome teacher!

Teachers should be paid more for what they do. Every day, you accomplish something you wouldn't have been able to achieve without a teacher.

Teachers help their students thrive and prosper into adults.

A good teacher cares about their students. They teach them to thrive and grow in society, help them prosper in their life's journey, and give them advice, words of wisdom, and much more.

Yes! I hate it when teachers (especially in math and science) don't accept that you used a different approach to solve a problem, even if what you did is completely allowed within the rules.

Open-minded teachers could help students learn more easily, and they could also learn from students!

I once had a teacher who didn't have much of this.

Remember, wisdom is different from knowledge.

I've had a teacher understand my anxiety and depression, and they have helped me through it. I don't know where I would be without this teacher.

I hate teachers who don't care about people's individual disabilities. If someone has ADHD, a teacher should work around that student to ensure they feel comfortable. This is something the librarian at my school clearly can't do.

In my last years of primary school, the school hired a company to teach PE. The instructors were mean and didn't understand kids who weren't sporty, like me.

Besides really knowing their stuff and being fair, being fun is crucial to learning because it keeps kids engaged. The best teachers are the fun ones.

A teacher that loves children and loves to teach - that's the way it should be.

I love teachers who are generous with grades!

The reason I was so inspired by my old physics teacher, my quantum tutor, Feynman, and other notable scientists was their charisma. Their charisma makes you want to follow in their footsteps and be successful.

This and respect are the most crucial qualities. No student will learn well without loving the teacher and enjoying their presence.

Oh, I was going to put this one! Thanks to anyone who added this.

Someone who knows what they are talking about. One problem I had in school was that our music lessons were sometimes taught by a sports lecturer who knew nothing about music.

For example, when he asked us to research a composer, I wrote an essay on Carl Stalling, who did the music for the Warner Bros. cartoons. He didn't believe I was being legitimate because there were no library books in the school about Stalling. This showed how little he knew outside of football.
