It is debatable whether it is more crucial for teacher to maintain good relation with their student than to teach specific knowledge. Some people say that teachers’ essential task is sharing specific knowledge. There is much truth in this idea. However, I strongly believe the idea that maintaining good relation with their students is more important for teacher than sharing knowledge because it is more important role for teacher to provide their students with well-rounded education and friendly relationship with students allows them to concentrate their school works. First of all, teachers’ essential role is not only sharing knowledge but also providing well-rounded education. In teenagers’ period, teenagers have amateur character because this period is process to be adult so they need mentor. Of course, their parent should be their mentor also teachers should perform the role. For example, when I was high school student, I have some problems involved a girl. I had a one side love so I could not concentrate classes. My grade went down, my parent did not understand me. Then, my history teacher listened to my problems and he understood me. Although he did not resolve my problems, because of the fact that someone understood me, I was encouraged and could resolve the problem myself. As seen this example, it is more important job for teachers to be students’ mentor than to share knowledge. In addition, friendly relationship between teachers and students allows students to have high academic achievement. Usually, teenagers tend to study hard the teacher’s subject who they like. They concentrate the classes whose teachers they like because of gaining teachers’ notice and this behavior led students to having higher scholar accomplishment. For instance, when I was high school student, I liked a history teacher so I concentrated her class and studied hard because I would like to attract her concern. By this effort, I could maintain not only friendly relationship but also good grade. In conclusion, it is more significant for teacher to relate well with their student than to teach knowledge because being mentor is essential role for teachers and close relationship encourages students to more concentrate their school works. |
