Class Is In Session

Daily writing prompt
What makes a teacher great?

Prof. G.Q. Rilla at your service.

Good morning, class!

Today, we will discuss what makes a teacher great.

Why, you ask? Well, Dean WP decided it was part of the curriculum, apparently.

“Teacher” is a very broad term. This can apply to anyone who offers guidance, really. A parent, a mentor, an instructor, etc.

I think, at the end of the day, aside from knowledge, the one thing that sets a great teacher apart is the fact that they care and invest in their “students.”

They don’t just throw facts, advice, or lessons at you. They encourage you and motivate you. Sometimes they even let you stumble or fall. They make you work for it and earn it.

Just like that other great teacher called “life.”

This is by no means an all encompassing answer, and there will be no quiz, as the answer is far, far more broad than we can cover here.

On that note…

Class dismissed!

        Coffee in the teacup, yes…how many of those will you be having? Lol 😆

      6. Depends on the size of the cup.

        Personally, I can’t stand tea unless its the iced variety.

  2. That line from Zorro- “When a student is ready to learn a Teacher appears.” Is probably something I can resonate with but its also hilarious because nobody ever taught me how to grind pepper but here I am grinding pepper all by myself. It wasn’t like a teacher just popped up when I wanted to learn how to grind pepper! It just came to me naturally! 😜

  5. Ace poem. You passed teacher. What about the students reading? 😁😊

    I have not long finished my drink tea and a muffin. So I am sorry (not sorry) for eating in class. The video I thought was brilliant. I couldn’t keep a straight face.

    Right. As much as I have enjoyed the post, I don’t like school. So I glad class is dismissed. Now time to go to music class. 😁
