A teacher is thus, held high in all respects by all. But as every stone is not a gem, so every teachers are not nation-builders. There are some teachers who are the lamps that shatter darkness. Hence, a question arises that what must be the qualities of a teacher? A teacher  must be an ideal person with sound health and sound mind. She must be a person of intellect and intelligence. She must be  the store house of knowledge and wisdom. She must be the master of her subject and capable of teaching  sincerely and enthusiastically. She must explain till every student is satisfied. Her  arguments and explanations must be sound  and  easy  so that all students can listen to her most attentively. She  must keep the class lively and in good humour.

A  teacher must be tolerant and sympathetic at heart. She should neither lose her temper nor get excited. She is to be very regular and punctual. She  should teach  the value of discipline, obedience, regularity and punctuality. She must give valuable advice to the students and help them when they are in trouble. She must be very fair and impartial. For her all students should be alike. With all these great  qualities, a teacher  must be very simple in her habits  so that each and every student can see their mothers’ image on her.
