A friend on Facebook recently asked: 
Do yo want to know why teachers teach and retired teachers deeply miss teaching?  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Someone responds:
A really good teacher takes care of his students much like a Gardner takes care of his plants, so the end result will be something everyone can enjoy and be proud of.

And here's my response:
[Similar to the previous person's response] ===> 

A good teacher is like a good farmer.  A good teacher sows seeds of knowledge, and nurtures his/her students with life lessons.  The fruits of a teacher's efforts are slow-coming, but long-lasting.  Furthermore, they are forever self-propagating.  
A good teacher, by my definition, is someone with high integrity who nonetheless is humble and respects his/her students as individual human beings regardless of their age or gender.  After-all, respect engenders respect!
