A teacher is an individual who plays the most vital role in the development of any being.Teacher should have patience,persuasiveness,endurance,faith and consistency.There is a famous saying also"A TEACHER IS A LIGHT HOUSE WHICH SHOWS THE RIGHT PATH TO PEOPLE IN DARKNESS".So to be a teacher is in fact a great responsibility and he/she should try to poses the good quality like leadership,dedication,devotion and his/her time to people though it is not easy. HE/she must be a very easy going person.using simple language that student can understand and enjoy his teachings. I think future of student depends on the qualities and dedication of a teacher and the teacher who creates an interest in students to develop and progress and achieve what ever for themselves. *Good teacher have positive attitude *respect there student and try to help *tries to give confidence *Give his /her full time to students to be successful .

Hi, aiwiuy I think every teacher should have a passion for teaching. With that comes patience and the determination to make his students listen and learn. Also, he must be able to inspire the students to focus on their studies. Inspire, not terrorize them into doing it. Welcome to Mylot Have a nice day!

Totally agree with you. Passion for teaching is the most important. When a teacher has great passion, he takes teaching job as his joy in life. Unfortunately, I haven't got such passion for my job yet. :(

Patience, a back bone, the desire to teach, passion for what they teach and compassion. I think those are a few traits that teachers should have.

I know that patience is necesary for a teacher. As a teacher of English, I encounter many problems with my students who are not good a learning language. With patience can I be a teacher.

Hi aiwiuy! Knowing that you have such power over a child or the student you teach can be very daunting and overwhelming. But it is also as fun, interesting and exciting to be able to help shape a young child's personality into a positive and a thinking individual. Being aware that you have such power should make you more sensitive, more responsible, more dedicated as much as you want to see them in your charges.

A good teacher must possess some good qualities in order to teach lesson in his students. A teacher must be patient because there are many students who are stubborn and hardheaded. The mastery of the subject is also important to make a good discussion. The teacher must be knowledgeable, intelligent and cooperative. If he have this kind of qualities, he will gain more respect from his students

For me love for the student and patients and also the knowledge so he/she can teach his student the right way. and a teacher should know how to discipline a student because lots of teacher's now have a heavy hand for their student they rather beat the student instead of letting/showing know what the student have done to be punish. They should know what's the feeling of being a student because they are once a student. Just like in the news some teacher in the province almost killed her student by beating it with bamboo stick and the reason is only being noisy I know being noisy inside the room is punishable but not like that. When I was in grade school my teacher punish us by summoning us in front of the class and stand there for 1 hr or more and sometimes when we are noisy she will call us to answer her question and with that we are always quite But the point is her punishment for us is good enough to learn our lesson not like the other teacher who beat his/her student I really don't like those kind of teacher. I remember one of my teacher was like that and she is going to punish me by hitting my finger nails upside down luckily I am a wise student that time I follow the flow of her stick so that I don't feel a thing I learn it from anime I have watch that time.

I think you need to have a lot of patience. You will face different kinds of people basically your students who have different attitudes and you have to deal with it. You have to be patient and firm about your own perspective on how to teach them good conducts and be a role model. Another one is dedication. A teacher without dedication is useless because you can't learn enough from a teacher without dedication for his/her service. Plus passion and commitment. You are committed to guide and build your students' personality and guide them all through out.

A qualities of a teacher should be nice enough so that the students will listen to him/her. One who devotes their time and energy for his or her students and not fort the money. He/ she should not do partiality on their students.

I think a teacher should have a patient to teach students.they have to face different kinds of people with different attitude.Teacher should treat each and every student equally.Teacher can teach them in a good way that each and every student can learn something from their teacher.Teacher should be frank and should be friendly to the student so that student can learn more from his/her teacher.A teacher cannot be so strict that student may not welcome it.Most of the student they want freedom and wanted to live in free world,So teacher can do strict but there is chances of taking advantages to their teacher if the teacher is very lenient to the student.
