If the teacher does not hold the control of the classroom, then they cannot be effective as educators. Patience is a definite requirement. Students are looking up to teachers as a resource. They are full of questions and energy. Patience is a way channeling that eagerness towards a continuation of acquiring knowledge.
Adaptability is vital.
Being an effective teacher includes being sensitive to a multi-cultural society and classroom. Every child is different and unique stemming from various ethnic backgrounds, religions, and moral teachings. A teacher need not accept all of their student s beliefs, but is required to respect the student as an individual. Although often frowned upon, the profession of teaching is one that requires a great deal of one person. It bears a great responsibility.
