text: the way I see it there are 4 kinds of teachers. The 2 good kind, or at least have good intentions are 1. teachers who are strict because they care about their students and want them to make something of themselves. 2. Teachers who are leniant on students because they know they're just fooling around or don't want to crush their spirit; and then the not-so-good kind, #3. The kind of teacher who is strict because they just dislike the student or the class in general and #4. the teacher who is very leniant because they really just don't care. I've had all 4 kinds throughout my life. you cant tell the difference between numbers 1 and 3 because #1 will usually seem to genuinly care about their students and will try to organize exciting things or make classes more interesting. and the difference between #2 and 4 is that number 2 wants to be the nice teacher, and show the students that they care through that. #4 Just kind of sits at their desk and plays solitaire.
