Who is your favourite teacher?
Mukesh sir is my favourite. He teaches us science; I love studying science.
What do you like about him?
He always comes to class on time, and explains everything to us in detail. He is very good with every child and even after the classes if we need to understand something, he helps us out. He regularly conducts tests; I got A grade in his subject and he praised me before everyone in class.
What you wish teachers wouldn’t do?
I wish teachers wouldn’t smoke in school. They should also not be late to class.
