[S.T.D.]

I doubt you had malicious intent, but your title does need to be re-worded. If you would just read your title and nothing else you would get the impression that Ulema are bad teachers. The title is supposed to convey what is in your message, not an attention grabber.

Ulema are bad teachers, AND should not teach kids is how it is read = You think Ulema are bad teachers, and in addition, they should not teach kids

What you mean is Ulema do not know how to properly teach kids. Two very different sentences. I know you mean the latter, but the title should be changed to reflect that. Hope I made sense, my writing is a bit confusing.

salaam,
your point is great and in general most of the people who have replied feel the same way and have been trying to instill this point. like i have mentioned earlier, teachers will be the first ones to admit that there are always room for improvement.

my question is, and i am still awaiting answers from the OP, what makes a bad teacher? or how do you define a good teacher?

in my books, i would consider a good teacher to be one who ultimately gets the message across and fulfills the objective of the lesson in a very professional manner with total love, respect, affection and understanding of children. simply being nice and simply not being horrible without getting the message across is totally futile. i am sure you would all agree with this.

how many teachers has the OP come across? how many institutes have you visited in order for you to come to this conclusion? as the old saying goes, you cant sweep everyone under same brush.

to be honest, i dont think there are many teachers left out there who cant teach. there are many different forms of teaching which can lead to fulfilling the objective.
