What percent of your lesson plans are entertaining?

how much is it the job of the teacher to entertain? I am always smiling and laughing, I use pop music in the classroom, but sometimes I think you actually have to do some work. About 50% of my lessons are fun and about 50% are things I have to cover. Am I a boring teacher??

My opinion. It’s not the teacher’s job to entertain. My classes end up being entertaining, but not because I desire them to be so. Rather my focus is on teaching the kids. If the kids don’t want to learn, and their terrible parents don’t help them, then no dancing on your head is going to change that. It’s better you present the material, and let them do the learning. You can’t be teacher and learner, just one or the other. You choose to be a teacher. You give your 100%, and if they give any effort to learning, they will learn.
