What is a Good Teacher?

First of all I am not a teacher, nor can I ever be one, but I do know the difference between the good and bad ones.
In order to understand what a teacher is, one has to divide them into two categories, after all be are binary That division is between teaching the intelligible and teaching about the perceptible. Fundamentally all teaching, intelligible or perceptible is accomplished by the deliberate modification of the student's environment such that many examples are available to learn from. What differs is the environment. Now, even adults have a hard time distinguishing what environment a teacher functionally works in, when what is to be learnt is given in a book.
Be that as it may, the difference between the environments is that the mathematics involved in learning is divided into two distinct types of identity The Arithmetic, i.e., literal, and the Geometric, i.e., metaphorical. Thus, what one can learn is commensurate with their own ability to process information in accordance with these two types of identity. There is always a ratio involved in the use of these two types of identity.
A good teacher functions using the more complicated mathematics of geometry, the metaphorical. This is because, they strive for a more functional human being. The literal teacher, is simply trying to produce any functional behavior they can get.
Stupid people, unable to master the metaphor, comprise the bulk of humanity. Therefore, acquiring a good teacher of the intelligible is simply, and more often than not, impossible. One has to revert to the artifacts good teachers left which are still available today. A bad student cannot even recognize a good teacher.
A good teacher works on the definition of mind as a life support system, which covers the whole of human behavior, a bad teacher works on particular groups of behavior in order to support particular group demands.
