HOW TO BE A BAD TEACHER

It is said that we learn more from the bad habits of people than we do from their good habits. Thus if we can see what is bad in someone we can know how to avoid the same pitfalls in our own selves
I give here examples of some Bad Teachers which should make us wary of our own selves lest we unconsciously inculcate their habits when we become teachers ourselves.
1. A bad teacher is one who comes into class, with a grouchy look, and wearing a frown on his face, who scowls at his students as if they are his worst enemies, and who begins his first class of the year with the remarks, or barks:
"I want everyone in this class to be well-behaved. I do not tolerate frivolity, tittering or remarks behind my back. If you want to stay in my class then be serious about it, or else I will send you out! And above all-- don't ask stupid questions! OK?...Any questions?..."
No one has the courage to ask anything.
And the teacher adds loudly:"SILENCE!"
The bad teacher carries a long wooden stick which tapers in front to a fine point, so that he can use this stick to point to the things he has written high up on the blackboard.But actually this stick is with him to terrorize his students.
He turns his back to his students and starts mumbling to himself or even talking loudly to the blackboard as he fills it with his illegible chalk handwriting.
Occasionally he turns around with a suspicious look in his eyes and glares at his students, if he thinks he has heard a sound or a noise.
And he says: "No Talking in class!" even when there is total silence.
Sometimes he hits the long desk in front of him with his stick to make his point.
"Anyone found giggling will be asked to leave!" he says with ferocity.
All at once the students find themselves confronted with the first enemy they have ever met in their lives. From then on, the teacher and the students are antagonists, virtually at war.
He spreads terrible anecdotes about the headmaster caning students hard on their buttocks, on his recommendations, that is if he does not cane them himself.
"Spare the rod and spoil the child!" he says in his typical British accent, forgetting that they are no longer in the middle ages.
Then all of a sudden he turns around and looks at an innocent student who was all attention: " YOU! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
"WHAT DOES THIS FIGURE ON THE BACKBOARD ILLUSTRATE?"
Since the students were too terrified to listen to his learned thesis on the blackboard they have no idea what he is talking about. And this causes him to victimize more and more of his students, saying, "YOU!..YOU!...YOU THERE AT THE BACK OF THE CLASS!!"
"I THINK I MIGHT HAVE TO FAIL YOU ALL!!"
"And by the way there will be daily homework, and weekly tests, and then the final exams. All the marks will be added up and I am sure they will all add up to a big ZERO!!
"WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE!!
The only thing the teacher lacks is a pistol in his mouth, so he shoots his mouth off instead.
Every morning the students dread stepping into the classroom. The only day they enjoy school is when the teacher is sick and on leave!
Every time the class is over, they breathe a sigh of relief and are in a haste to get out, stumbling over each other in a stampede.
Someone suggests complaining about the teacher to the principal, but he is taken aback when he learns that the teacher is the principal himself.
And then one day, despite all the fear and terror the teacher has spread, he finds himself in the rather ignominious position with a "KICK ME" paper stuck on the back of his coat.
