Be a great teacher
Nowadays, not many want to be a teacher. Besides, some teachers are not doing a good job in school. Many school teachers prefer to give their best effort in tuition class. That’s why tuition centre has become so popular nowadays. Anyway, this world really needs a lot of great teachers.
"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." - William Arthur Ward
Elements of Great Teaching
"A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron." - Horace Mann
"Teachers who cannot keep students involved and excited for several hours in the classroom should not be there." - John Roueche
“A wise teacher makes learning a joy.” - Proverb
"Professors known as outstanding lecturers do two things; they use a simple plan and many examples." - W. McKeachie
Values and Price to pay
"Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more." - Bob TalbertHe who ceases to learn cannot adequately teach. A good teacher is one whose students surpass him and makes him increasingly less necessary. The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.
"No man can be a good teacher unless he has feelings of warm affection toward his pupils and a genuine desire to impart to them what he himself believes to be of value." - Bertrand Russell
Do you have great teachers? What do you like about your teachers?

The happiness of the teacher is when a student change from bad to good person. In my experience, there are many students who entered college without goal. After I talked to them one to one, they start to respect and take my advice and succeed in their life. And they are still in touch with me and they are always at my side in any situation i go through. The way they show their love is the real happiness that I feel.
I agree that there are many types of teachers.Sadly, when I was at school, most of my teachers were very thoughless of the impact they had on their students. At least, that seemed to be the case.I think that teachers should be better educated and should be forced to take much more responsibilty for what they teach the young.They play a huge role in a personal development and they must be made more aware of this.Thanks for another eye-opening post, Sam...as always, your teachings are wonderful !! :)

Thanks for this post- very appropriate for me, and anw Teacher's Day is coming!
Take care
A good teacher inspires his/her students. His/her students will always remember his/her teachings and put his/her teachings into practice. Let's be a good student as well as a good teacher because we are someone's student and also someone's teacher.
Hi Winston,
Very very true. Only those that are willing to teach can teach. Nevertheless, a great teacher must constantly learn up new ways to improve his/her teaching skills.
Indeed this post is very appropriate for you - the great math tuition teacher.
Malaysian had celebrated Teacher's Day on 16th May. I checked from Wikipedia and found out that Singaporean will be celebrating it on 1st September.
My Best Wishes to you, Winston!
Hi Sam,
"The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher."
But we hardly come across teachers with devotion and passion. Teaching profession has become fully commercialised.
Thanks for a your good post. God bless.

Hi Surjit,
Very true! Education is not cheap anymore because teaching profession has become a business instead. It is hard to find devoted teachers nowadays.
