Do you agree or disagree with this

following statement. Is relating

well to students is more important
than giving them knowledge?

Having a glimpse of the current

situation in the modern world of
stepping forward increasingly, we
may discover this is a complicated
society that needs knowledge
everywhere. Therefore, teacher is an
indispensable part of modern society
and a respectable occupation
admitted by all social beings.
In my opinion, relating well to his
or her students is as important
as giving them knowledge on the
part of teachers.

Above all, knowledge is power, just

as Thomas Jefferson once said. In
this regard, giving students some
basic notions contained within all
school subjects is the premise of
becoming an excellent teacher.
Without this process, students would
never prepare themselves for
examinations each semester or even
the future job market. In order to
help students understand what
knowledges they need to master, it is
important for teachers to constantly
reflect the way they teach
students. By doing so,
students could have a good
performance in the final and excel
at their future careers. This is why
we can often see teachers visit
other schools periodically to
communicate the valuable experience
of making students win higher marks.

Secondly, the students who are

not completely mature need care
and concern from teachers. Only
through building good relationships
with students can one teacher know
what they think about. Last semester,
I really wanted to achieve success in
the examination, but I failed to win
my dream grades. Facing this
unsatisfactory results, it was such
I had a hard time that made me
surrounded by pressures from parents,
students, especially my teachers.
When I confused with the terrible
situation, my math teacher
appeared appropriately and did not
criticize me at all. He encouraged me
to study hard unceasingly, then asked
the points where I did not still
understand. From then on, it is
natural for me to resolve those
mental conflicts. Therefore, I would
have more confidence and impetus
gained from my math teachers care
to devote vigorously power of the
mind to learning.

Nevertheless, even though we have

ascertained the value of teachers
capacity of passing knowledge, and
also testified to the importance of
relating well to students, there is
still one point that must be
especially emphasized. To
illustrate, teachers must remember
that criticism is a crucial part of
education. They should not permit
students to do bad things such as
escaping homework, talking about
uncorrelated topics with classes in
order to keep good relationships with
them. After all, sometimes criticism
also can be a kind of encouragement.

To sum up, ensuring the smooth

development of education in modern
society, the teachers need to enhance
their abilities of giving students
knowledge. On the other hand,
learning how to cooperate with
students is also important. Thus,
there is a huge challenge for
teachers that they ought to keep both
standpoints listed above balanced.
