I was reading about how to be a good teacher and I reolized that the best way to get an enducation is to have a great teacher. It is the teachers that seem to make the bigger differences, not the school, not the atmosphere of where you live but the teachers.
As I think about this I wonder, how are you going to know if you are going to get a good education? I believe that is is true through out all levels of education, from elementary through college. Most of the wieght is on how well a teacher teaches. If a teacher doesn't make any thing clear to how is the student going to learn. Yes I do know that some students will not put effort into learning the material and so they like to blame the teacher on how horrible they teach. But there are also those teachers that say, go read chapters on through five and we will have a test on them tomorrow. I know for me as a learner I do not understand information from a book. You can't ask a book to restate what it said but use a different example because you didn't understand the one you just read 30 times. But you can ask a teacher to reexplain things and you can keep asking questions and get a faster more efficent answer from a teacher then from a book. Teachers do make a difference in students education.
Becauseof this knowledge that I have, I want to be the best teacher I can be, because if I can't get the information across to my students clearly enough then they will not learn as well or get the proper education that they should.
