Being a good teacher has nothing to do with gender.

Being a man doesn �t make someone a better teacher.

Being a woman doesn �t make someone a better teacher either.

A great teacher is someone who:

 Has a great deal of knowledge and passes it on to their students.

 A great teacher doesn �t need to resort to trivial arguments because

    we are clever people, otherwise we wouldn �t be teachers.

 A good teacher doesn �t need to attack another person to make a point.

 A good teacher goes after the ball and not the player.

 A good teacher sets a good example, is polite, courteously, tries to see

    both sides of a problem.

 A good teacher shows respect for all people, male or female.

 We don �t all have to agree but we can show respect for each other �s opinions.

 We can agree that we disagree.

 We are role models - let �s act like one.

There seems to be a lot of frustration here on the board today.

We have stressful jobs - all of us.

We come to the board for support not to be trampled on.

Let �s stop the bickering and mud-throwing and show some respect

for each other. If we don �t show respect for each other, how will teachers ever

gain the respect of their students and parents?

Some people seem to have forgotten that this person was so bold to advertise a ws with copied content on the forum. I still don �t understand why I wasn �t allowed to say "shame on you" for doing that... However, you can be assured that I won �t do that ever again, because it led nowhere - just to trouble and disgusting insults.
