I think it's important for the teacher to know well what they teach (of course). And also that when they don't know something (or are wrong), that they admit it. And not like one of the teachers I had... Whenever you asked her something more complicated, and she didn't know, she never admitted it, but she went all nasty and made you make a paper about it. So in the end nobody asked her anything anymore.
The good teachers I had were those that didn't speak as if they were reading from the book, and that knew how to explain some things in different ways, and not only saying one explanation over and over. But that if you didn't understand their explanation, they'd try to explain it in a different way. [img]smile.gif[/img]
