What are the qualities of a great teacher? One is to be able to draw in the students - get their interest in a course that perhaps they would not be interested in. Take Andy Griffith - although he admitted that he put a little extra jam on it - he was in essence teaching history - Paul Reveres ride and how this country got started. The next day - teacher Helen Crump - was amazed at the pupils (especially the boys) sudden interest in history. She had Andy to thank. You get a teacher who is passionate about what they are teaching - you draw the students in - and you have some key elements of being a great teacher and having a wonderful class. Remember it’s in your history book - stories about Paul and all kinds of good stories stuck in their history book. A true patriot, Andy Griffith was. . . . one of the many classics from the Andy Griffith Show. . . .
