Nani Palkhiwala wrote for a teacher “The issue of his sustained mental effort is not a volume but a man; it could not be embodied in print, it consists in the living word.”
Such a sustained effort can only be a result of a genuine passion.
Therefore the quality that makes an ideal teacher is the passion for teaching. My teacher used to say, “That what you remember, after having forgotten all that was taught; is true learning. A true teacher will always appeal to your heart. An appeal to the heart can never be forgotten.”
Genuine passion ensures good communication, enthusiasm and continuous improvement. Moreover this quality makes the teacher sensitive to the needs of all types of his pupils, his teaching gradually becomes appealing to different types of students at different levels of understanding, thereby doing justice to the whole class consisting students of varying capacities and interests
