Does the educational success of a person depend on the teacher or it is the attitude of the student that plays the main role. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, online resources make it possible to advance in the self-education. On what depends the educational success of a
student
? Mainly argued that it depends on a
teacher
or on the
student
's efforts. In
this
essay I will discuss both sides of the argument in detail and provide evidence as to why a
teacher
plays the main role in the educational success of a person. On the one hand, when it comes to the education, the
teacher
is a shortcut to achieve a goal.
Thus
, any subject that has to be studied, already has been studied by someone for many years.
As a result
, anything for what several years could be spent can be learnt in several months.
For example
, in order to learn so simple subject as a software engineering myriads of resources has to be red, whereas a
teacher
can show in one twenty minutes practical lesson what is in reality is written on the hundreds of book pages. There is no doubt, that only a
teacher
shows the shortest and useful path to gain
knowledge
.
On the other hand
, even though someone teaches perfectly, without
student
's attitude, it is a complete waste of the time. If the
student
is not interested in the topic, so all the
teacher
's words are just the sounds in the air.
For instance
, it can be clearly seen on the graduation exams, when boys and girls from the same course, with the same teachers and same lessons come up with the different
knowledge
.
Therefore
,
knowledge
wouldn't be just placed into the person's mind unless person properly receives and proceeds it
further
. To sum up, in my opinion, to gain any
knowledge
the
student
's attitude is required,
however
, to be really successful in the education
teacher
's job is needed. I believe that two equally effective students will achieve different scores if they were taught by two different professors.
Moreover
, the
third
student
who has studied by himself will get less scores compared to the two above mentioned.
