Yo NS. Long time no see. How's things been? Maybe I've been forgotten, who knows.

I come to you today to ask for help in a survey I'm doing for my teaching program!

All I need from you is your top five characteristics of an effective teacher (in your opinion, no right or wrong answer here.)

If you'd be so kind, provide a list of those (can be brief or descriptive, whatever is clever) and your age, race, ethnicity, and occupation (if you have one, if not just put student if you're in school still).

THANKS! Feel free to provide more than five if it's near and dear to your heart.

Bumping this just to say that I hate when teachers have a filter on for their students. I love it when a teacher can freely express themselves without feeling restricted.

1: No life outside of school
2: Willingness to spend copious amounts of time in a non-rewarding setting
3: Selfless
4: Intimidating and strict (for classroom management reasons)
5: No further aspirations in life

These responses are serious.

Just to add, I don't consider it a necessary requirement to be a good teacher and I'm not sexist or anything but thinking back I realized that all the best teachers I've had have been males. Just an observation.
