School is a place where you go from Monday to Friday. At school you learn and meet your friends. There are also teachers at school. They teach us new things and help us understand the world. When you have a great teacher you can learn a lot. What do you think makes a good and a bad teacher? 

Good teachers love what they teach. They show us the world. They help us understand and remember. They are fair and patient. They know we need time to learn. Good teachers have interesting and exciting lessons. When teachers have fun, the students have fun, too. They inspire students to learn more.

Good teachers always listen to their students. We ask questions because we want to know more about the world. Good teachers are kind and always ready to help. They can see when we have problems. They help us when we don’t know what to do next. 

Good teachers can see all students. They know that there are shy students too. Shy students don’t put their hands up but they know the answers. Good teachers never shout. They know that only bad teachers shout. 

Bad teachers don’t care about their students. They don’t ask any questions. They come into the classroom, ask us to open our books, and wait when we finish reading. Then bad teachers talk and talk. And we just sit and listen. It is so boring! 

Bad teachers shout. They shout because they don’t know how to make interesting lessons. And they don’t know how to motivate students. They shout because they want quiet students in the classroom. They like it when we sit and listen quietly and when lessons are boring, we don’t remember.

Bad teachers never ask questions. They just present the subject. They talk and talk. And we sit and listen. When the bell rings for a break, they simply go out. Bad teachers are boring and their lessons are boring.

In your opinion, what makes a bad or good teacher?
