How to be a good teacher

Something that is a recurring theme there is how some teachers are about as creative as a stuck record when it comes to lesson planning. Many others have complained about their teachers having the manners of a rabid boar. Since this seems to be quite a problem for these young people, I have decided to ask them what they think makes a good teacher, and have compiled the results together in this guide... which will hopefully prevent teachers who read it from becoming another heated discussion on my site.
