Problem: you have gotten to know a little bit about your teacher, but don’t really know what you think of them.
Solution: the title says it all.*
AWESOME – A teacher who is, quite simply, awesome. Generally speaks well, has charisma and you don’t actually care that they’re giving you a lot of homework, if applicable. Has insane level of awesome humour, and knows how to make class enjoyable for students. Is deep, but knows how to explain their wisdom with wise cracking and humour, if not ridiculous life stories. Commands your respect without intimidation. Usually old/experienced, but can be young. However, it takes years of practice, with the right individual, to formulate the personality of an awesome teacher- do not expect in extremely young teachers. There is a difference between being awesome and an “actual person” type teacher, although the line is paper thin.
ACTUAL PERSON – A teacher, usually young, who just tries to be who they are and doesn’t buy into gossip or rumours, they tell the class their honest opinions on things. Generally teaches well too. Has a distinct personality, and often forms friendly relationships with students. Respected for forming their own beliefs, even if you dislike the personality. An “actual person” type teacher usually also falls into the category of “awesome.” Classify at your own risk.
INSANELY NICE TEACHER – A teacher who is never, ever mad at you, and explains everything nicely. VERY, VERY RARE.
ORGANIZED – A teacher who teaches well and is a cool person who is very organized and might make you do special longer methods of, for example, calculations in science. Believes in high standards, and setting goals. Never loses your assignments, or omits project if they do and add bonus marks to your next project. Good teacher overall, but sometimes too picky.
AVERAGE GUY TEACHER (Vegetable) – Tries to avoid work and gives you less homework than most other teachers, not the most exciting or well spoken people but they manage and mark you relatively easily.
AVERAGE GIRL TEACHER – Is very average; just gets you through the year and are pretty nice most of the time. Warning: they have their annoying strict moments though. Makes up majority of teachers in high school.
LAME/STRICT – Either don’t teach you much, like an eternal substitute, or really strict and annoying.
HORRIBLE – The name says it all. You can usually tell who this teacher is immediately if they spend the entire first class talking about respect/rules.
And there you have it. Go forth!
*For grouping high school teachers only. Elementary school teachers generally all fall into “insanely nice” although sometimes out of job requirement.
