Teacher First? or Student First?

"To start producing better students, we need to find better teachers." - Chester E. Finn, Jr., a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution.

What do you think of the above quote?

 

Yes you are we Need better teachers first to have good students because Students only learn good things if he/she have good teacher.

 

I agreed with you, teacher should have the patience to control the students, some are arrogant. .

 

Totally true I agree..

 

agree with you all...good teacher make the good future

 

it makes sense since a teacher is the one that is responsible on molding our young.

 

A good teacher comes first in my opinion because he (she) can convert even a bad student and mold him (her) into a successful personality. So the quality of the teacher is the foremost requirement to groom the future leaders. The best teacher inspires...

 

both at the same time.

good teachers are wasted on poor students and vice versa.

 

i dont agree, i think students brilliance comes from the student and the teacher just helps to release it. the teachers currently do that job well enough, you cant change a student from a D grade student to an A* grade just by giving them a better teacher, it has to be something from the student.

(yes someone witha rly shit teacher would improve by getting better teacher, but the most of the improvement comes from student.)

 

I totally agree. You have to have good teachers first.

 

Yes I agree with quote because you need good teachers and it won't matter whether you provide good or bad students, teachers will be teaching well enough.

 

You can't make something(students) out of nothing(teachers)


Of course you need better teachers first.

 

Better teachers, Good educational system. We need them both.

Stricter school rules, cut down expenditures on 'better life at school' and improve the teaching facilities(such as more hours of school)

It's about time education system around the world (except India, China, and Vatican City) should be reformed.

 

I believe that you will have a strong nation when you have best teachers who will make sure we end up with the excelent students. Today it is commonly thought that someone who cant get any where he-she should be a teacher. How can you get excelent breed of students with average or unfortunately below average teachers. Significance of good pay is a plus point that can motivate good teachers to this Nobel Profession.

 

Give the teachers some slack. They have to put up with the sh*t heads some kids are today.

 

Need good techers who can teach students in great patience and respect .
