    Read this poem "You Are a Teacher" then answer the following questions below.

    YOU ARE A TEACHER

    If I speak interestingly, effectively, and well,


    But do not understand my students
    I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
    If I know all of the methods and techniques of teaching,
    If I have complete faith that they will work,
    So that I use them completely,
    But think only of materials or techniques
    instead of how they can help my students,
    I count for nothing.
    If I go the second mile in my teaching,
    Give up many activities,
    But do it without understanding,
    It does no good.
    Love is very patient, very kind;
    Love is not jealous; it does not put on airs;
    It is never tyrannic, never;
    Yet does insist on truth;
    It does not become angry;
    It is not resentful.
    Love always expects the best of others;
    It is gladdened when they live up to these expectations,
    Slow to lose faith when they do not.
    It will bear anything,
    Hope for anything,
    Endure anything.
    This kind of love will never fail
    If there are teaching methods, they will change;
    If there are curricula, they will be revised.
    For our knowledge is imperfect
    And our teaching is imperfect,
    And we are always looking for the better ways
    Which an infinite God has placed ahead of us.
    When I began to teach, I fumbled and failed;
    Now I have put away some of my childish ways.
    At present I am learning bit by bit;
    But if I keep on seeking, I shall at last understand
    As all along I myself have been understood.
    So faith, hope and love endure.
    These are the great three
    But the greatest of them is love.
