Qualities of a Good and Bad Teacher

Good Teacher:

  • "You can turn it in early for extra credit"
  • "You can leave your binders in the classroom" - no one needs 5 binders in their locker/backpack
  • "Bring in a box of tissues for extra credit" - EVERY CLASSROOM NEEDS TISSUES
  • "If your printer isn't working, you can just email it to me"
  • Showing a video to help explain something they're teaching
  • Lets you pick your seats for the first day/week of school
  • Asks you who would would and would not like to sit with when preparing a seating plan
  • Lets you pick your project partners
  • Picks your project partners randomly

Bad Teacher:

  • "You can't turn it in early, because I'll lose it"
  • "You're going to need one folder for each unit" - a binder with dividers is easier and cheaper 
  • Showing a video instead of teaching
  • Seats the "smart" kids next to the "dumb" kids so the "smart" kids can help out the "dumb" kids
  • Pairs the "smart" kids with the "dumb" kids in projects, so the "dumb" kid's grade will go up
  • Picks your project partners "randomly"
  • Tries to talk like a teenager
  • Treats kids like they're stupid/younger than they are 
  • Never has tissues, bandaids, paperclips, and random assorted things needed in a classroom full of kids
Teachers get on average 3.9/5, because they are under-appreciated, but there are some that are not equipped with the ability to teach...
