Handsome does not rank up there at all, for qualities in a teacher, you paedophile.

Students have to know that you care before they care what you know. If you think they care about the outside appearance then I'm not sure you are in the right profession. You must be knowledgeable of your subject, and present it in a way that all students get it. You must provide an atmosphere for learning that is comfortable, and lets students know they can ask questions without being belittled. Not every student you teach will be "handsome", but it is your job to make them feel special regardless of their looks, or their ability. Give your students boundaries, provide reasonable expectations for them, support them, guide them in their learning, be honest with them, be a real person, and your students will learn and grow as they should.

I've been teaching for 30 years, and couldn't give a rat's a** about appearing handsome to the students. I am prepared, knowledgeable in my field, and I know how to motivate students to learn. My main concern is enlightening the kids about the subject.
Where do they find these wackos coming into the profession lately?

Seeing from a student's view, I say you must be gentle.
It's okay to yell at them sometimes, but don't do it too often.
We students get irritated a lot if teachers yell at us, no matter what reasons she / he has.
And you must be playful with your students. Don't just teach, we'll get bored to death, taken from my experience, three students in my class ( including me ) fell asleep because the matemathics teacher only blab neverendingly.
So I say, be chattable and fun, that way your students will finally look up on you, and actually like you.
My English teacher is a very playful person, thus, nobody hate her, and I never fall asleep in her class, too.
Try to be like my english teacher, I'm sure your students will like you better. ^ ^
And another tip, try to be caring. You must know your students' problem.
Hope these works...

It depends on the age of the students that you teach. If they're elementary age then be fun with fun experiments and stuff. Middle school is tough because at that age these kids just don't know what the hell the want. And high school age kids just want you to be fair and not too strict. Good luck.

Apparently nowadays all they want is the teacher to have sex with them. No offense Im sure you are a great wonderful teacher, but thats what the media wants people to believe.
Just be on a level of understanding with them, have candy, and homework isnt always neccessary. It really depends on the grade level in which you are teaching, just dont "do" them.
Good luck

A good knowledge in the subject.
If teaches from practical experiences or involving issues of today the better.
Someone who keeps his dignity. (no stupid jokes in class)
One being handsome lasts for only days, students really look later for ur brains and way of conduct.

I most admired and respected the teacher, Mr. Mendoza- geography,that showed interest in me as his student and a person, he praised my acomplishments and involved me in a unique, fun learning process. He kept me interested in the world I live in as a future contributor to this society. He seemed to be glad to see me enter his class room every day and that made me want to be there. He never focused on negativity and showed all of his students how to do our part on this planet.

The ability to enjoy lively discussions/debates amongst the students while you facilitate.
Two of my best professor believed that one of the best ways to learn is from the students teaching themselves and discussing/expressing different ideas and opinions in group discussions..so, all semester we didn't seat facing forward, instead sat in a circle.
