This is a comprehensive list of good, funny, important, and random questions to ask a teacher.
Specifically, I have grouped these questions into different categories that can fit in with parents and students.
That is, if you’re a parent, you will see enough questions to ask a teacher about your child, or if you’re a student, you will see some fun and good questions to ask your teacher aside from the regular classroom course discussion.
All you just need to do is pick the ones that you find pleasing and appropriate.
So let’s get started.
