CLASSIC MISTAKES MADE BY MY TEACHERS

They lectured
They screamed and shouted
They punished unfairly and harshly
They humiliated students publicly
They insisted on having the last word
Their body language was negative
They used violence
They never praised anyone but the top students
They had irritating quirks, like keys jangling in pockets, scratching in strange places, odd gestures etc
They never moved from behind their desks
They droned!
They had really boring voices!
They recited the book and made no other effort to animate the content
They made sarcastic remarks if you made a mistake
They ridiculed weaker students
They had favourites
They were unfair
They sulked and were unforgiving
They made irrelevant comments
They accused anyone or everyone
They were vindictive
They often lost control of their class
They were not always well prepared
They could be easily confused by student questions
They made weaker students feel stupid or inferior
