Everyone Has Had THAT Teacher That Just Makes You Ask... "Why?"

I truly will never understand educators who despise their job.

Qualities of a good teacher include: enjoying the material in which they are teaching, master their subject, dress the part, always have an inviting smile, interested in making a connection and forming a bond with the students, and consistently looking for new ways to teach the material more creatively.

The list goes on. So may I ask something, why become a teacher if you loath students and are bored with the subject you're teaching?

I don't think teachers like this realize that the impact they have in teaching us students is much greater then anyone could comprehend. Teachers form the young minds that eagerly sit at their desks waiting to learn and expand their minds.

(Alright in reality we all know most kids sit slumped in their desks with their head down because they barely got out of bed this morning)

Although it's not the teachers fault for having exhausted students who are disinterested, but it doesn't help if the teacher is even more disinterested.

I have a math teacher who completely disregards the subject matter in which he is teaching. Everyday is the same, practicing problems, listen to his complaints about what ruined his life today that was any different from yesterday, and his insulting criticism of the fact that the students in front of him don't know the simple information he is teaching.

Why go to college and practice teaching if you hate it? There are some teachers who constantly plan new and creative ways for their students to be excited to come to class, that's awesome. It may just be the newer teachers who are fresh out of college, but how could a love for something such as your profession just die?

If one loves something enough to make it their career and go everyday to it, why spend the extra effort in hating it? If the teacher doesn't like what he's teaching, why would the students?

I would love for a teacher who enjoys what they teach. I have another professor who absolutely loves his job. I know this because he doesn't just say it, but his actions, peppy attitude, excitement when students participate, and overall atmosphere in the classroom just exemplifies his love for the topic.

People should do what they love, not do what makes them money. (If you're choosing teaching as a means to just make money I would rethink your decision, not much money there folks unless you truly love it)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
