What makes a good teacher?

The Huntington Beach Independent went to Dwyer Middle School and

asked seventh- and eighth-graders in Stacy Wood’s physical education

class, ‘What makes a teacher a successful?’

“To be nice to the students, not give them a lot of homework, to

teach us and to give us As.”

JIMMY QUEEN,

“To teach well, understand the students and to be nice.”

DAVID PILECKI,

“A person who is passionate about what they teach, knows what they

teach and enjoys teaching.”

ALEX LEO, 14

“One that enjoys their subject, knows it and knows what students

need to do good in the class.”

MELANIE WRAY,

“A good teacher knows what she is teaching, makes it fun and

involves her kids.”
