What do you wish more teachers considered? (See Details)

I’m going into my last year of college, and during which I’ll be student teaching. I’ve taught here and there before, so it won’t be a completely new experience. But one thing I don’t think my classes consider enough is how to be a good teacher - academics aside.
What do you, in your experience, wish more teachers would’ve done (or should do)?
In case my wording is a little off (I’m not sure how to articulate this better), I mean things like do you wish more teachers developed positive relationships with students, do you wish they taught in a way that was more considerate of students (i.e. not giving homework constantly)?
I know a lot of students - myself included - don’t look back on their time in high school too fondly. I’m curious what others would suggest for teachers to do to make high school a pleasant experience (without changing the curriculum, of course).

I don’t know about your teachers but that’s not the kind of relationship we have with our students. So far as student evaluations go, at best, we produce mostly quality students who never fail to greet us fondly in public and reminisce on their high school days. But that’s just private school and we have very high standards for both student work and staff ethos.
