There are many debates that a teacher’s ability to relate well with students is more important than the ability to give knowledge. Some people assert that an ability to keep friendly relationship with their students is more important than an ability to teach valuable information. However, I firmly contend that the latter is more important than the former because the essential tasks of teachers are to aid students in acquiring potential knowledge required for their future and concentration on teaching the knowledge helps class maintain atmosphere which is good for studying. To start with, it is very important role that teachers are to educate students and give them skills that they will need after graduation. No one can deny the fact that teachers will give a much greater impact on students’ future and employment. To illustrate this point, the teacher who influenced me the most was my math teacher in high school. Although I did not make deep relation with him, His lecture was very impressive to me. At that time I really hate math because of its complexity, but he taught me math step by step with his unique humor. I gradually became interested in the mass. Due to him, I choose math as a major in the university. Finally, I entered the famous company in my country as an engineer. In addition, the teacher’s emphasis on the lecture causes proper environments for the studying. Emphasis on the relationship rather than the lecture causes serious problem both teacher and students. For instance, when I was 15 years old, my English teacher tried to keep good relation with his students excessively. It seemed that he cross the boundary needed for teachers to control over the classroom. He thought that the relationship was more important than the lecture. Therefore, my class mates sometimes were being above the English teacher. Because of his mistake, he had hard time to control over the class, after break time and students in my class did not try to focus on his lecture. In conclusion, giving the knowledge is more important and crucial to the students because their future relies on the teacher’s education and it help student focus more on their study. Of course, the relationship between the teachers and the students is not ignorable but teacher needs to keep distance with their students and emphasizes lecture more than relationship for the students’ future. |
