My Kind of Teacher

There is a vast variety of teachers and almost all of them make a great teacher. Humor is important to me and I can understand that it cannot always be worked into the classroom environment, but it makes all the difference. If you can show the students that you are not just some robot spewing out information, that you can take the time to show yourself in your work, then I believe it forms that connection that students need. At least, that is my case. My senior year I took pre-calculus and my teacher was a total goofball, but it worked for him. You can see him having fun or at least having a go at it and it just engages you that much more in the class. Also, compassion is a great value for teachers to have. My junior year history teacher was genuinely interested in my life and that meant a lot to me. I would always hang around and take to him as much as I could. He was always listening to what I had to say, so I returned the favor. I most certainly learned the most about history in that class due to his kind nature. Plus, he was brilliant. I don’t know. Something there was something about him, shame he retired that year.
