▶ Your Answer :
Some people say that it is unnecessary for a teacher to be the best in
his or her field. However, in my opinion, I think that the teachers have to become
experts in their fields of study. This is because that they have to teach
students with accurate knowledges and students can be rely on other educational
institution instead of school.
To begin with, the purpose of teachers is how
they could teach students to understand subjects easily. If they cannot teach
their students with exact information, students will have a lot of complaints
to teachers. I will illustrate my story as an example. When I was in high
school, there was a math teacher who was not good at math. Whenever he had some
difficult math problems on the textbooks, he always called students who could
solve problems exactly to explain them. Not only them, but all of the students
did not like him and wanted to change him with other teacher, so we explained
the situation to the principal of the school. After all, the math teacher was
fired and we could meet another teacher who was really good at math. This story
shows that if the teachers are not experts in their subjects, students would
have complaints to the teachers.
On top of that, students would depend on the other
educational academies. If students could not believe the abilities of teachers,
they would search for other academies. This destroys the confidence of relationship
between teachers and students. For instance, there was a poll conducted by the
university newspaper columnist in University of Seoul in 2013 with college
freshman students as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand
the consensus view about how much they relied on the educational academies
instead of school. The majority of respondents answered that they depended upon
and believed them more because they had more accurate information for students
in various subjects. An overwhelming of 68% had responded that they did. This
is because of the lower quality of the public education than the educational
academies having more mastery faculties. So, they said that the schools have to
hire teachers with more systematical steps. This survey proves that people
think teachers should be good at their fields of study.
In a nutshell, teachers should convey exact
information to students and they should not make students to be dependent on
the educational academies. In this regard, I firmly believe that it is more significant
for teachers to be great at their fields in lieu of communicating with
students.
