Growing up, I often heard from my parents that I should grow self-confidence, lest I live poor life. - I am sure many people have similar experiences. However, as I grown older, I realize that confidence is a fruit of patients and efforts; this being the case, I also want to argue that teacher try to teach student specific knowledge than to help them to gain self-confidence. First, teachers' basis obligation is convey knowledge to students. In addition, self-confidence is naturally grown by accumulating specific knowledge.
To begin with, teaching accurate knowledges to students is teachers' duty. At first glance, it may seems that there are many other tasks such as grow students' responsibilities. However, It is a widely accepted view that conveying knowledge is one of the best things doing by teachers; I agree with this view from personal experience, I was taught by my middle school teacher who tried to grow my self-confidence, instead of not concentrated to teach our class. Therefore, students in my class were angry about that fact, and asked to teacher for more academic activities. In this sense, teachers should concentrate to teaching students. For example, my second year in middle school comes to mind. In that time, my teacher concentrated growing our class' confidence, so she did to many activities for us. However, it is useless to us. My classmates were disappointed our teacher, and proposed that activities swift to academically.
In addition, accumulating of specific knowledge can students' self-confidences. It cannot be said that all of knowledge is able to foster students' self-confidences because they make mistakes sometimes. However, what is true is that studying academic subjects is helpful to grow confidence. For example, I have read an article about the survey of the Korean times. In the survey, people were asked when is the best moment that you feel confidence. Of those who answered, about 67% of people said that achievement of test. When asked to explain, they stated that when they were study hard and test revealed their effort. This example demonstrates that students are able to foster their self-confidence by studying specific knowledge.
To conclude, teacher's duty thought of as growing student's self-confidence. However, I want to argue that, teacher try to teach student for specific knowledge. |
