Teaching is about patience

The best teachers are the patient teachers. Those teachers who wait for an answer, rather than giving the answer to their question in less than five seconds. Patient teachers wait for the scholar to work through a writing assignment before doing it for them. Patience is a good quality all teachers should have, just as good parents have, and as our politicians should have about schools and even the budget. Like good cooking that takes time, so does good education. It is all about patience.
