Some people believe that students work better if the teacher is strict;
others think it is better for students if the teacher has a friendly approach.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own
knowledge and experience.
Good teaching could be something like a mission impossible if an educator
fails to perform a balancing act between being kind and being rough. Nowadays
society is much more open-minded, and it is easy for a teacher to forget putting
a great value on school disciplines. For students to work better, however, it is
advisable that the teacher should be strict rather than friendly.
There are those in favor of a strict teacher, with traditional reasons.
According to their opinions, children should fear their teachers, this being the
only way in which they would study and behave themselves. To begin with, it is
thought that a pupil, if not properly pushed to work in the classroom, is likely
to get a low grade. Then, only a strict educator can better help students
distinguish what is right from what is wrong in a moral sense. In the past, the
harsh and unfeeling way of educating a child was based on ruthless grounding and
stern rules, which used to create accomplished individuals like old-fashioned
gentlemen and ladies. There is nothing wrong about the teacher being a
disciplinarian, always keeping students on their toes and calling attention to
mistakes or carelessness on the part of the immature minds. Of course, this does
not mean the poker-faced teacher would never smile until Christmas.
On the other hand, those who believe in the wisdom of modern psychology
hold views to the contrary. They blame some teachers for being so strict that
they tend to terrify their students to the point of tyranny. One argument is
that a friendly teacher is a better teacher for being a combination of the
guidance of an educator and the understanding of a friend, thus giving a healthy
boost to a child's personality development. Accordingly, under no circumstances
should the teacher should criticize or punish a student. It is argued that an
otherwise introvert student reacts positively in the companionship of a friendly
teacher who is more close to the students and proves to be a better educator.
Apart from that, it is understandable that today's parents prefer to see
"loving" teachers for their offspring, and such an attitude can be explained by
the way they obey their children at home.
The teacher having a more strict approach is more effective than one who is
trying to be friendly all the time since schooling is meant to influence
students positively for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the traditional
value of working seriously on academic activities and of instilling moral
principles to children cannot be overemphasized. The good news is that being the
strict teacher and being the friendly teacher are not mutually exclusive.
