Some people think teachers should connect with their students rather than improve skills in the their fields. They may think that to have relationships with students gives teachers feel a sense of achievement. However, in my opinion, it is more important for teachers to be competent on their job. This is because teachers can help students study hard and give various information to students. To begin with, teachers who are professionals can make students study hard. Generally, students have tendency to study more when they are interest in the subjects. Teachers who know about their subjects well and are proficient in teaching can make students feel interest in the subjects. For instance, when I was in a high school, I did not know the reason I needed to study English and did not like study it. Furthermore, English teachers’ lessons was very boring to me. However, my English 12 teacher explained why we had to study English related to planning our future and led her class by using interesting materials. She understood the characteristics of studying English and also had the special ability to teaching students. Thus, I could get interest in studying English and start to study it from the basic and I got better grade on the exam as well. On top of that, teachers can give useful information to students. When students are faced with various problems, they need person who can help them solve their problems with practical information. Teachers who are specialists in their field and know how to deal with those problems can give students solution and wisdom. I can take an example of my friend who is an efficient music teacher at a high school. He always enjoys collecting information about music and studying current flows in his field. One day, one of his students came to my friend and asked him which would be better to major in between piano and composition. My friend told her the differences between two majors and gave some advice to her and then she could decide to major in composition at a college. My friend said that he could help his students like her because he had bountiful information about his subject and the field. To sum up, I believe that being experts in their field is more important for teachers than connecting with students. This is because teachers can help their students study hard and provide them with valuable information and wisdom, helping them solve their problems.
