[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have found that the excellent teachers have three important qualities. First, they "get" kids. I don't know how to explain this but they just intuitively know when to be kind, when to be stern, and when to use humor to diffuse problems. I believe this cannot be taught. The second is a love of learning and a strong understanding of their concept and how to relate the concepts to the students and their experience level. The third is that the teacher truly enjoys being surrounded by kids all dby ay. The kids know this. We have had excellent teachers a few times in AS, MS, and one in HS. These teachers have pushed my kids, encouraged my kids, and inspired them. Sadly, these teachers are rare in our educational system.[/quote] Well said. Teaching is an art and a science but it is a lot more of an art than it is a science.[/quote]
