Inspiration & good critique


What makes a teacher great?

A good teacher is open & honest & teaches you how to be better at the subject you’re learning.

My favorite teachers are the ones that taught me how to be a better writer. They’d be honest with me about my writing & what was missing in it without putting me down & being childish.

A great teacher inspires you to learn about the subject you are studying & to become passionate about it. A bad teacher doesn’t engage or teach you to think. They do nothing to inspire you or to reach your goals. Demotivational & mean, they often only care about how they think & not their students.

Being a good teacher means you inspire & teach people to be better than they are. A good teacher shows how to grab the stars, they don’t tell you you’ll never reach them.

  1. You’ve captured the essence of what makes a teacher great beautifully. An exceptional teacher is open, honest, and provides constructive feedback to help students improve in their areas of study, such as writing. They inspire a love for learning, engage students in critical thinking, and ignite a passion for the subject matter. A great teacher is supportive, motivating, and guides students to reach their goals, never diminishing their potential but rather encouraging them to aim high. Their focus is on inspiring growth and showing students that they are capable of reaching for the stars. Thank you for sharing your insightful perspective!
