  22. 1. The qualities of a good teacher would have to include being respectful and caring. A good teacher wants all students to succeed and tries to help in any way possible. A great teacher gives everyone a chance and is a good listener. I believe a good teacher is one who loves to teach and does not regret coming into work everyday.
    2. A good student respects other people. A good student not only does their work but also is a good person. This includes not discriminating against other people because no one ever knows what people are going through in their lives. A good student should be able to stand alone in a situation if it is something they believe in and do what is right.
    3. A good person is someone who listens and does not judge other people. They have respect for others and themselves. A good person does not lie.
    4. I don't really like English because normally I do not like the things we read or have to write about.
