It is often said that it is more important for teachers to help students gain confidence than to teach specific knowledge. Some people might agree with this statement in that students can be recharged by self-confidence even if they get depressed on exams. At first glance, this opinion seems to be somewhat appealing. However, I firmly agree that teachers should give specific knowledge students than self-confidence because self-confidence excluding knowledge is useless and the amount of knowledge is helpful for students to be successful in society. To begin with, teachers should act as knowledge messenger. Of course, it is important for students to gain self-confidence, but it is far more important to obtain knowledge. This is because self-esteem excluding knowledge is useless. To demonstrate, according to a study recently released by the Korean Daily Newspaper, one of the most popular magazines, more than two third of surveyed CEOs of big company responded that when conglomerates estimate work seeker’s ability to employ, the standard to evaluate them was not self-esteem, but the amount of knowledge. In this sense, teaching specific knowledge is preferable to giving self confidence. In addition, a lot of knowledge allows students to be successful in the society. It is obvious that, today, the amount of knowledge has become instrument to judge others. For example, when I was high school student, Sue Lee, my high school Math teacher, did nothing but give a lecture to students. After graduation, I joined big company, and I was recognized by others ranging from co-worker to president of company through good performance comparing the value of Korean Won with the Euro based on my knowledge from Sue Lee. If I had not received such ability from Sue Lee, I would have not been recognized from company members. In short, I strongly believe that teacher should give a lecture based on specific knowledge than self-confidence. This is because self-esteem lacking knowledge is insignificant and knowledge is more useful for students to be successful in the future.
