What makes a good teacher?

Teacher and blogger Betsy Newmark got talking yesterday about how you decide who's a good teacher.

I was reminded of a boy about 10 or 11 I talked with a few years ago. He said his Fifth Grade teacher was "real good."

Why was she "real good?"

"Well, she makes you work hard but you learn a lot in her class," he answered. "And she ain't mean or nothing, but the kids that mess, she gets them."

Take a look at Betsy's post.

And add a comment here about what you think makes a good teacher.

How about: penalizes you when you don't do your best.

I think a good teacher is one who doesn't keep "shhhhh... shushing" and asking everyone to keep quiet. A good teacher is also one who gives you extra info and knowlegde, keeps giving out wise words and encourages you to open and use the "big round thingy" between your hair(if you have hair :p ) and face.
