▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that it is more important for teachers to
be experts in their fields than to connect with students. However, in my
opinion, I strongly agree with this statement following two reasons. First,
good connection with students can enhance the quality of class. Second, strong
bond with students can motivate to study.
First, good connection with students can enhance the quality
of class. If teacher build a relationship with students, students can easily
express their opinion about the class in a good way. This is because close
relationship decreases the uncomfortable feeling about expressing the personal
opinion. For example, when I was a student, I was a leader of my class. So I
had a responsibility of communicating between students and teacher. And fortunately,
I had a good relationship with teacher who charged our class. Because she tried
to be a good friend rather than strict teacher. Also she said to me that do not
hesitate to express the personal opinion to her. So it was easy to communicate
with teacher about the opinion what we should try or change something for our
class. Thanks to her, the satisfaction of our class was the best among the
entire classes.
Second, strong bond with students can motivate them to study.
This is because students study more when they want to be recognized by their
teacher. For example, as I mentioned that I had a good relationship with my
teacher. Therefore I wanted to be recognized by her not only leadership but also
good grade. So I studied much harder than I usually did. And if I had a
question, I could ask her easily due to our close relationship. As a result, I
got the highest grade in my class and she was very pleased about that.
To sum up, making a good relationship with students is good
for enhancing the quality of class as well as motivating students in a good
way. In this regard, I personally disagree that it is more important for
teachers to be experts in their fields than to connect with students.
