Teachers

Throughout my elementary to high school years, there have been teachers that i have liked and that i have disliked. What makes a teacher likable? What makes that teacher better to you than the rest? What are some of the qualities that make this teacher one of everybody's favorites? My most favorite teacher was Mrs. Hunter, she is an English teacher. I had her for English 20 and English 30.

What made her likable is that she was an outstanding English teacher; she is a lot of fun in the class room; she always started her classes off with a story or something funny to tell us; she treated her students as if we were her kids, she didn’t treat us like we were beneath her, she treated us as though we were equal; and among many other qualities, she rarely ever got mad and when she did she would literally bark at us rather than yell because she thought if she yelled at us we would need therapy or something along those lines. Mrs Hunter is probably the most liked teachers in the Innisfail Jr. Sr. High School. I bet if you asked around more than 60 percent of the kids that have had her would agree.

The qualities that i believe make Mrs. Hunter a good teacher and excellent model is that she actually cares about her students. She goes out of her way to make sure you understand. She makes you get things that other teachers would not. She holds after school sessions to also help her students with things that they have either missed or just don’t quite understand. She goes above and beyond the English teachers duties; in our graduating class she would help us with our post secondary schooling. She acted as a guidance counselor and assisted us a best she could. She wasn’t a guidance counselor but she took on the task anyways to help her students as best she could.

Mrs. Hunter isn’t just an amazing high school English teacher; she is also an amazing person as well. If i could be half the teacher that Mrs. Hunter is, i would be very happy. She is one of the few reasons that i wanted to become a teacher. She has taught me more than just English. She’s taught me some affective ways to teach, what works and what doesn’t. Overall Mrs. Hunter was and still is my favorite teacher that ive had throughout my high school years, and i will always remember her and what she did for her classes and what she did for her students.
