Bright kids, fast learners, for the most part, don't need us very much.  They learn as much in spite of us as because of us, and can usually learn very well independently.  \n\nSlower learners need their teachers.  They are the ones who make teaching such a rewarding career.\n\nI would pick the slower learners every time.

Sylvan has been around for longer.  I think you would do better finding a private tutor.

A balance of both. Teachers are there for a reason, as well as peers.

head teacher is the one with the dirty knees.\n\nIs there a question there?

one is you learning from someone else  the other is both learning from each other.

Thorough knowledge is an added advantage but if a teacher is not sincere for his work or not dedicated to his proffession then he's not worthed. a teacher should always be approachable for kids.

Makes no difference to me as long as they are knowledgable in their subject area and are an effective teacher.

if you have to do one or the other pick the one you think you will like the most because of friends or it might be easier to get a better in one class or because you like one teacher better.  Don't do it for your mom do it for you.  you will be the one taking the tests and sitting in class.  Your mom can still give you advice she does know what she is talking about but this is a decision for you.  So make it and own it.  Most importantly HAVE FUN!!!

Best teacher: Mr. Sanders, 10th grade English\n\nFavorite: Mr. Sanders ties for favorite with my 8th grade History teacher Mrs. Miller.\n\nDifference between favorite and least favorite: Least favorite is Mrs. Pryor, 9th grade geometry and she was a horrid teacher. She never looked a person in the eye and did not interact with the students at all. Mr. Sanders encouraged the use of our imaginations and free thinking. He wanted to hear our ideas and allowed us to discuss and even argue our points. He taught me never to accept something just because someone else said it was so. "Question everything and learn more" was his motto.\n\nTeacher become more affective: That's a tough one. Be more understanding of the individual needs of their students. Classes were much smaller when I was in school and it was easier for a teacher to recognize a student who needed special attention before they got lost. These days, partly because of the size of classes and partly because it's just harder to teach todays kids, some teachers just don't seem to have the energy or the desire to deal with the special needs of some students. I also think the school districts themselves should loosen up on the teachers and give them more freedom with their curriculum. Teachers who are allowed some freedom in technique seem to make even better teachers than they would be with their hands more or less tied.\n\nHow many questions is that now?: Counting this one, 6.\n\nEdit/10:48pm cst/3-11-06\n\nOops, forgot one.\nWhat makes a good teacher: One that opens my mind and motivates me to use it.

Group work, hands down.  Students learn more from each other than they learn from lecture.  Give assignments to groups (even just simple worksheets) and have them turn ONE in for the whole group.  Never let the groups grow beyond 5 or 6 members and assign the members randomly to their groups.  You'd be amazed how much they learn from each other and how much they enjoy and retain the material

How dare you claim that those who actually know the subject matter would be the best teachers!  Don't you know it's more about self-esteem, and making the students feel better about the fact that they don't know s**t?

It would be both really. Some people just love to teach. They love time in front of kids and they love watching them learn.\n\nOthers learn the skill. \n\nSo it's both.

Obviously English. You cannot teach history without knowing English , Teaching English enables you to travel world wide

Thinking of all my teachers past and present ... the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher is passion for the subject of the course combined with passion for teaching.

Neither one is 'better'. They are completely different professions. A better question for you to ask yourself is:\nWhat do I want to be? What areas interest me? What would I be happy doing? What would I do well?
