Rav Chaim Volozhin tells us through the trait of tolerance and patience a person can achieve significantly more in the area of child rearing. Similarly the Chazon Ish relays that one learns way more from the practice of the teacher than from his speech. If the teacher is giving over a message with anger and negatively then those bad traits will be given over rather than the rebuke or instruction that he is attempting. The opposite is true as well and in a situation where it would be reasonable for the educator to be upset yet he demonstrates patience it's an even greater lesson being imparted to the student.
