If you show respect for the kids, they most times give it back to you.They always made learning fun. Because of this, I always loved school. I still love to learn new things. My best teachers were all very patient, tried hard to understand our way of looking at things and they genuinely cared about kids.I think they truly loved their jobs. I’m sure they did because they have never gotten paid all that great. You must really like kids to be able to handle this job.A really good teacher can teach “out of the box” also. Everything in life is not strictly by the book.Always remember that.

Patience. Most of the teachers I really liked were patient and very caring and were not afraid to show emotions.

Enthusiasm for teaching and students; a sense of humor; making class fun; being approachable; respectful to students

Bulging biceps and a great smile.
