In my own experience they fall into two main categories with respectable subcategories of their own. Those who weren't meant to be teachers like they were good at the subject when they were in school but don't know how to teach it and those who hate interacting with people.
Here are three of my personal less than favorable teachers from back in the day.
The Priest- Knows a lot about chemistry doesn't know anything about teaching. Only teaching because he's filling up time till he becomes a priest.
He must of thought that teaching was easy. Being in a Jesuit school you have all these Priest applying to be teacher who don't know the art of teaching. Bad idea.
Sensitive Graduate- He just graduated and couldn't find a job within his major so he has no choice but to teach. He takes his frustrations of his own failure and bad decisions on his students. He doesn't like questions or hands raised up for anything. "Can you go over that one part again" to his ears is "Yo mama so fat, people jog around her for exercise".
If you don't like people then you shouldn't be a teacher. Don't take a job because it's just there for you to earn money. The only thing that I learned from that people make bad decisions in their lifetime.
Unattractive Airhead- I felt sorry for this one. The one that keeps on blabbing about things that don't make sense. You wonder if this person is semi-retarded because of her childlike knowledge about the world. Tells everyone that dinosaurs are fairytales, no it's not due to a religious belief it's because she saw them on The Flintstones and thought that's the only place they exist.
When you don't have knowledge that is greater than your own students or show your stupidity then you lose all credibility.
I hoped that you learned that not everybody can be teachers. If you fall in any of these categories I suggest some other career that suits you best so that the young ones don't suffer.

Post a CommentYou're right-- Your teachers, for instance, obviously didn't do a very good job of teaching you how to write.
Maybe you "shouldn't of have" written this article. The grammar check "must not of" been on.
