Some questions about human nature, possibly economics, and moral values.
Do the best students deserve the best teachers? Or would it make more sense to give them to the worst students, who need them more so that they can catch up?
Things to think about-
Is a good teacher one who is well-versed in his field, or is he one who is most able to connect with his students? Which would you rather be taught by? Who should be the more highly paid? Who is a better asset to students, school, society?
Is a good student one who excels easily, or one who tries his best? Again, which is the better asset to the school and to society?
Which student is worse (or a larger liability to himself and society)- the weak one who tries hard, or the intelligent one who simply doesn’t? (I plea guilty to being the second, at the risk of being labelled egoistical for labelling myself intelligent)
Does it make more economical sense to give the best and most experienced teachers to the best students? The higher our high-flyers fly, surely the higher our nation will be able to rise?
What is better for society- to have more high-achievers or less low-achievers? Which is the more humane thing to work towards?
I haven’t given this too much thought yet, I’d like to see your ideas and responses before I think further. =)

a teacher’s job is to pass all that he learnt to the nx grn in a way tt relates to tm and tells of his passion 4 learning which would make him a role model to tm.in order to do tt he has to connect. so i say tht id’s a gd tchr.one who is well-versed in his field only proves tt he’s a good learner.

Hello Visa! This may sound completely random but can I add you to my f-list? Lolol.
Re: S-Unit/Steph here
sure, hello =D
A good teacher would be one who can effectively communicate his thoughts to his students, meaning the students can understand what is going on. He also has to inspire the student to learn, cultivate the passion of the subject within the student. I agree with what annonymous said. We’re at an age where information is at our fingertips. Given that, I’d say one who is able to connect with his students would make a much better teacher. My past experiences are testimony to this. I’m pretty sure other students would agree too.
Sorry, just to add on to what I said earlier. I have wondered about the rest of your questions before but I’ve yet to decide which is better. Personally, I’d say it’ll be better if the weaker students got the better teachers, but I don’t have any reasons for that. Just feels…right.
do you ever blog personal stuff anymore ):
The intelligent one who doesn’t. My brother is one of them. He’s failing everything and he doesn’t give a damn. I want to kick him sometimes.
Why do you like to think so much? Can’t you think about something else, like death or flowers or something.
death is part of life. flowers are pretty so that insects notice them and pollinate them.
=D
