When it comes to teachers, we can divdie them in to two big catagories. A teacher with humor and a teacher who is strcit. There are both postive and negative sides of both teachers. I however, belive that the teacher with humor can lead the class more effectively. Teacher being humorous creates, hamonious enviroment, and it truly brings everything out of students.
First of all, We would all agree, that the enviroment we study plays a crucial role. That being said, the key factor of envrioment in the classroom itself is the teacher. Once we enter the classroom we automatically adjust to the class's atomosphere. For example, humrous teacher would change the envrioment of he class room, where it is eaiser for students to focus. I personally, had most difficult time during the class right after lunch time. It was very hard to listen to the class and solve problems. Luckly, I had a humorous teacher who understood this situaton and always started the class with a humorous story. This way, I was able to learn more and more effiecntly. If it had been a strict teacher, I would of had more difficult time learning.
Secondly, In order to teach effectivly, teachers must be able to bring out full potential of each student. This may not sound so easy, but one of the best way I believe is the get them involved. When students are participating in class or to group activity, they tend to give more effort than being told what to do.
Let me tell you my personal experience, I still remember how I first learned to do math in kindergarden. I still remember my teacher making me come up to front and asking me questions. I was indeed scared but my teacher was making jokes, and smileing. I was able to answer questons I thought I couldn't answer at that moment, and gave me confedence even though I have answered some of them wrong. Personally, It gave me a chance to bring out my full ability at the time.
In conclusion. It is debateable to decide which one is more effective between strictness and humorous, but drawing conclusion from my personal experience, I belive that the humoros teachers are more effective in many ways, such as keeping students attention and giveing confindence. Even if I had a choice of going back to past to change my teacher, I would still pick my humorous teacher.
