Some may argue that anybody can be a teacher. While this may be true, this doesn’t mean that everybody can be a good teacher, and not everybody is going to enjoy being one. Patience is the number one thing you must posses. With a classroom full of students that you are in charge of teaching, it is important to remain patient with all of them. A good personality helps to keep the class engaged, knowledge of course, and thick skin. Teachers get blamed a lot of the time for their child’s academic success, or lack there of. It is important to not allow it to bother you.
Key Takeaways:

- You must know a good amount about what you are teaching before you attempt to teach it to someone else.
