Students need all kinds of teachers.

• The extroverts who bring energy.

• The introverts who lead with quiet thoughtfulness.

• The serious teachers who bring structure and focus.

• The silly teachers that put students in a state of relaxed alertness.

• The spontaneous teachers who model a creative spirit.

• The organized teachers who bring clarity and consistency.

Part of education is learning how to work with, learn from, and relate to people who are different from ourselves.
