A teacher who doesn't know what he/she is talking about.
Especially when a student asks a question and the teacher gets mad or gives a blank stare because they have no idea how to answer it, even though it pertains to the subject being taught.

What bugs me most is when the teacher ignores you when you have a question. My math teacher does that and when we do the practice work and i have a question i'll ask it and then he'll be like uh.. and walk away. Math is my worst subject and i can hardly understand anything he says and i am almost failing that class because i can never get any help in there.

Some teachers smell like smoke - and have smokey breath YUK!
Some teachers don't care - ok so they are the negatives.
Positives:
A good teacher - inspired me.
A great teacher - confronted my ideas - and made me look at the other side.
A great teacher said - no limits, no excuses and he had disabilities too!
A great teacher said - never take never for an answer if you are willing to work toward the result.
A great teacher said - I believe in YOU - bless her!
A great teacher said - you will finish college (when I was in night school) and you will go on.
A great teacher believed in me, and said so.
A great teacher - said there are answers to every question - so please - ask the Universe for answers if I can't answer.
I received my education because I had so many great, great teachers. I am grateful for each and every one of them - including my mom - who was my greatest teacher in the world. My mom believed in me even when I lost track!
GOD bless us always.

Ones that lead you through material like they are following their textbook.
Had one math teacher who I swore moonlighted as a graphing calculator salesman. "just press this and that button and then the answer comes out here!"
Be sure to understand the material so you can show them why things work the way they do (mechanisms), rather than just how (process)
Also this level of understanding helps with making analogies to the course material in case you have some difficult students that don't quite grasp things
