In Korea, It is often said that teacher who is serious and strict is more effective than a teacher who is humorous and easygoing because It is often believed that students don't observe school's rules unless they are not punished From my point of view,however,I think that the idea of above is not really ture.
There are some reasons why I think so.
First of all, It is more easy for students to approach a teacher who is humorous and easygoing than one who are strict and serious. In Korea, 20 years ago, It is unthinkable thing that students talk with their teachers like friend because at that time, teachers are often considered really strict being. But in this case, It is inefficient for students to study and improve sociabilty. They would not question any things and even show their face which is smiling because teachers are so serious.But in case of humorous and easygoing teacher, students raise many questions and can have lots of conversation with them. For example, when I was high school student, my class teacher was really humorous and outgoing so I often used to talk with my teacher. as a result , I can learn more things from him and raise sociablility.
On top of that, If strict teacher bit students as punishments, students may have discouraging feeling.
If students feel that, they may lose passion with study and have bad feeling to their teacher. Recent studying shows that students who are often punished from teacher have lower grade that other students. In my case, when I was middle school students, there was really strict and serious teacher who often scold me. Each time I scolded from teacher, I losed confidence more and more and even think really bad thing about teacher.
In conclusion, as i noticed above, there are much more advantages in teacher who humoruos and easygoing. they can make student more active and social. If I did't have opportunity to take class with this techer, I would become timid person. |
