Teaching is such a learned gift. I can say that because some people can learn how to do this, if they have the gift. Some people learn quick, and others take longer. I was in the longer variety, because I couldn't understand the different learning styles thing, but after I figured that out, I was good. Unfortunately, there are those who don't have the gift, and no matter how hard they try, the children will just run over them, or not listen, or be too scared to even try. It's so hard to say exactly what makes a good teacher. It's impossible to say what makes a gifted teacher. It's one of these things that you know when you see it, you think "God, this gal/guy is great!". If someone could bottle it, I would buy a can or a bottle.
