Characteristics of Good Teacher and Good Student
A. Good teachers are:
1. They that have great interest to the subject they teach.
This means that teachers are supposed to love their subjects so that they can teach with spirits in their hearts. Students may love their teacher if the teacher loves his/her own subject.
2. They that have patience, familiarity and sensitivity which are needed to foster the spirit of learning.
Patience     ; is a condition where teachers must control their emotions if there is a problem with the students.
Familiarity ; is a condition where teachers must be very close to the students. This will make the students feel safe and comfortable around their teacher.
Sensitivity ; is a condition where teachers must connect their minds with the students' minds to understand their feelings.
3. They that have imaginative and practical thinking to give explanations to their students.
Without these, your students will be boring in no time to what you are talking about in class. Imaginative thinking is a process to create different situations or different circumstances to make learning process more interesting (e.g. debate, dialogue, discussions). While practical thinking is a process to make a decision in class (e.g. if your method of teaching does not work, then use another method; if the new method does not work too, then use another one; if all methods do not work, then revise your strategy to face the students).
That's why it is important for teachers to have a practical thinking. It helps them to make decisions as quick as possible.
