Some
people say that a teacher’s ability to give knowledge is more important that
the ability to relate well with students. However, in my opinion, the ability
to socialize well with students are more important. This is because learning
how to build a good mentor-mentee relationship is important and the ability to
give knowledge can be aided by alternative materials, but the ability to relate
well can’t be aided. First, learning how to build a good
mentor-mentee relationship is important. In one’s like, he builds dozens of
mentor-mentee relationships and most of the relationships are built after
graduation. And a teacher with the ability to relate well can guide their
students how to build an ideal mentor-mentee relationship. To be specific,
before I met a teacher whose name was Kim, it was difficult for me to have a
good relationship with a teacher and I was a troublemaker in my class. After
Kim taught me some skills to build a good relationship with a mentor, I have
never made a trouble in my class. I still follow her words and without Kim’s
support I might be struggling with my boss in a company even today. On
top of that, the ability to give knowledge can be aided by alternative
materials, but the ability to relate well can’t be aided. There are a lot of
books, audios, and videos that can help students to learn knowledge. However,
the ability to make good relationship with students can’t be aided by any other
way. For instance, one of my friends is teaching at an elementary school. She
has a good socializing skills with students, but lack of the ability to give
knowledge. Therefore, she used video materials to transfer knowledge and
focuses more on active communication with students. In the midterm exam, the average
score of her classes was slightly higher than that of rest classes. In other
words, additional resources augmented her teaching skills successfully. If she
lacks socializing skills, there are no external aids that can help her solve
relationship problems. To sum
up, learning how to build a good mentor-mentee relationship is important and
lack of the ability to give knowledge can be aided by alternative materials.
The ability to relate well with students cant’ be aided at all. In conclusion,
the ability to relate well with the teacher is more important than the ability
to give knowledge.
