A Good Teacher Is...

To me, a good teacher is someone who teaches you their subject (math, english, french, etc), and does a good job at it. I have had many teachers who were very smart people, but just didn't know how to teach. For example, my math teacher in 11th grade of high school. Probably the smartest man I have ever met - couldn't teach to save his life. It was frustrating.

Not only should teachers actually be able to teach, they should be kind to their students too. Again, I have had many mean teachers (like Mrs Hannah, who wouldn't teach me how to divide in 4th grade). Teachers should be understanding and lend you a hand when you need one. They shouldn't judge you on appearances or whatever is on file in the principal's office. They should get to know you, not what is on your record.
