Why do we teach and what makes a good teacher?

I believe when we teach we are trying to accomplish many things. We are trying to create intelligent, adjusted, and well-rounded individuals that are ready to be a part of society and make a difference in the world. I think we guide students to find out who they are and what their interests and strengths are. I think through teaching we are trying to improve society and life. A good teacher is someone who can accomplish these things. A good teacher is someone who is able to get the kids interested and excited about learning while improving their skills. A good teacher is caring and open to suggestions, but knows what they want their students to accomplish. A good teacher is someone who can guide students through their education and help students become the leader of their education.
