章节摘录

　　The Personal Qualities of a Teacher　　Here I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher？ Probably no two people would draw up exactly the same lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.　　First, the teachers personality should be pleasantly live and attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically plain, or even ugly, because many such have great personal charm. But it does rule out such types as the over-excitable, melancholy, frigid, sarcastic, cynical, frustrated, and over-bearing; I would say too, that it excludes all of dull or purely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably "suffer more from bores than from brutes".　　Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy —— in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant —— not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of the frailty and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.　　Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths, and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act —— to enliven a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life.
