...best part of teaching is feeling proud of what your students accomplish. A good teacher is someone for whom the student wants to work hard. A teachers most important skill is seeing things through students eyes. The students should be able to see themselves making progress. That's the psychological part of teaching.

The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution may be what the student is learning but the context of...
