Dead Poets Society: 3. What is a good teacher in your opinion?

What is a good teacher in your opinion?


Jasmine: I’ve had many great teachers in the past all unique in their own special way. It seems cliché but it’s true when they say that a teacher can really change your life whether it be academically or on a personal level. Memories regularly come flooding back of my previous school and what most stands out is the support and guidance offered by the teachers though every stage of my education. Personally a good teacher is someone you can relate to, understanding, firm but fair and most importantly, passionate about what they teach. My old science teacher, Mr Williams' wacky unconventional approach to science and teaching in general made lessons enjoyable and fun. The two years he taught me science coincidentally were my best academically. 

Belén: In my opinion, Mr Keating had the perfect teaching style. Why? Because he was  someone that was involucrated in the student's education, not just in how to learn maths or literature. He was worried in their lifes, in their future, in their education, in how to make them better people. How to seize the day. 
A teacher isn't only a person who shows you how to do a mathematics' problem, because so much people can do that. The good teacher wanted you to get the whole point to life, making you a good person. This is a great responsability because children will be the adults that their teachers and their parents educated to be when they were little. Educate, not just to teach, I think that's the most important way in a good teacher: Showing the students how to make their lifes extraordinary by poetry, english, maths or history.
