1. Flexible teaching style, creativity.
The best teachers don't try to mold kids into a predetermined, uniform shape--they adjust themselves, their methods, and even their curricula to help better connect with kids who learn differently or at different speeds. They do this without resenting it or considering it an unfair burden; these are not the days of our parents, after all, and new times call for new ways of teaching. The old disciplinarian stereotype is no longer effective in today's educational environment.

That has been my experience--both as a gifted child, and as the parent of a normal one with a few interesting quirks.
