What makes a bad teacher? or is there any bad teacher on earth?
My experience always tells me that a good teacher may not keep their goodness for a life time, and a good teacer can err too, but when a used-to-be good or kind-kearted teacher make some mistakes, is he or she still good? If a teacher explains things unclearly, if a teacher is too strict with their students, is that teacher a bad one?

When I was in school, I hated a teacher the most, she actually without any reason punished kids, actually big kids of 9th and 10 th. I mean how could she do that to students of higher classes without a proper reason of punishing.

A teacher is supposed to be our second parent. There is one incident that my teacher accused me as an activist because I was late. But real reason, I was late because of traffic along the way. I was trying to explain but he continued to humiliate me in front of my classmates. Even though, he did that I just ignore it and assumed he had a bad day that time.

xoyyox hi a bad teacher is a person who doesn't like children or young people or even sometimes adults, and has no patience with any age of student. otherwise teachers are mediocre to really excellent depending on how involved they are in the teaching process. those who are dedicated to making kids, teens, and adults learn are the best ones going. xoyyox, everyone even the most excellent teacher alive can make an error but he or she will be quick to tell you he or she has erred and will clear up any confusion that resulted. A good teacher is neither too strict or too lenient. she or he knows exactly how far to let things go and when to call a halt to things. A bad teacher is too strict as the strictness obliverates what he or she was trying to teAch.

Teachers are never bad they are Go for us because they teach us everything what we should know to survive in this world and to learn the skills, but some time we do not like there strictness in classroom and some time we do not understand what they trying to teach us then we can call him that they are bad teachers

A bad teacher teaches the lesson without even caring if all of his or her students understand. Not all lenient teacher are good for a student ( i can't believe i'm saying this but its true), Strict teachers are good actually, we students fear them so we study in their subject. See my logic?
Well, even if the teacher is strict, lenient or not, he or she is good if she lives to give knowledge and not for the pay check.
