[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By high school most students understand that their teacher is human. They also understand that their own effort in a class affects their future. Yes, teachers should be respectful and enthusiastic about the children and their teaching. I just hope that by this time we expect more from teachers. College professors are not judged by how enthusiastic they are and how often they smile.[/quote] It's not about How we are judged. It's about how the kids see us. If they see us as people who give a crap about them, they will be more likely to rise to our expectations. If we're touchy battle axes it doesn't mater how smart we are and what we know- they won't be interested in learning it from us. There's a huge difference in who is most qualified to teach and whonis most effective. The ideal teacher is both but you can't neglect one hemisphere wholly and be a even halfway good teacher.
