I actually really like most of my teachers this year… especially for humanities, physics (despite the fact that he’s intimidating), and calc. :3 The ‘fun’ teacher is just nice too. It’s hard to generalize these things, so forgive me if I’ve forgotten any.
I’d like to note that your version of a “fun” teacher does not equate a good teacher.
I actually think the fun teacher is the closest to a good teacher on this list. Listening and learning from students stories is often the first step in “knowing” them and “knowing” what they need to learn. Also giving Homework does not make you a good teacher, actually it could often mean you are a bad, lazy, strict and boring teacher. Not always… a bad teacher…. but homework is often a sign of over standardized learning and often (not always) is based on worksheets and textbook driven work. Learning should be fun, engaging and meaningful. Good teachers should be able to provide depth while also making it fun, engaging and meaningful. Even the hardest, most serious learning should be fun. If not, why learn it.
