There will be certain days that students will not be eager to learn, or other days when it seems like no one understands what you are teaching. I would always go into class discussions with a list of questions that I thought were good, but many times those questions did not relate to what the students thought were important. I think that a teacher needs to be flexible in lesson planning and also in dealing with students. I know that consistency is important in teaching, but I think that a teacher can be flexible without being inconsistent. There is a fine line between flexibility and inconsistency, but with hard work it can be achieved.
Love is the last quality that sets good teachers apart from bad teachers.
Teachers who show genuine love for their students and their job are the only people who can be good teachers. Without love for their students and their job, teachers should not teach. Students will know whether or not a teacher cares for them and will act accordingly. Teaching is definitely a hard job that is not for everyone. I think that it is appropriate to call teaching an art, because not all people possess the skills it takes to be a good teacher.
