A good teacher is many things to many people. I suppose everyone has his definite ideas about what a good teacher is. As I look back on my own experience, I find the teachers that I respect and think about the most are those who demanded the most discipline from their students.
I think of one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think he was a good teacher because he was a very strict person. He just tolerated no kind of nonsense at all in his classroom. I remember very vividly a sign over his classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory – in this room the first five letters of the word are emphasized, not the last seven.”
