Forget their ego

What makes a teacher great?

A great teacher must forget their ego and concentrate solely on what makes their pupil succeed.

Funny, that really is a very hard task today as teachers are now rewarded for achieving targets set by unaccountable government bodies and to be promoted they must be effective business leaders who can talk the talk when it comes to profit and loss.

Surprisingly there are still great teachers around who achieve great things, however, there are just too many pupils who never come across a great teacher and therefore never get the chance to gain  the insight education can bring .

It is a great loss to society.
