Band 7.5

Some people believe that educational success is based on good teachers and others believe that it depends on students' attitudes. Discuss both the views.

#people #success #teachers #students #attitudes
There are those who think that scholastic achievement is based upon having exemplary and qualified pedagogues while others think it is derived from mental fortitude. In
this
 essay, I am going to examine both points of view and
then
 give my perspective on the matter. On one side of the argument, there are some people who argue the benefits of qualified instructors considerably outweigh individual efforts. The main reason for believing
this
 is that competent teachers know where to focus on learning in the short term to get the best result. It is
also
 possible to say they can provide the most effective comprehension for students in some fields. A good illustration of
this
 is when I studied English in South Korea, good teachers always emphasized the importance of having actual English conversations rather than reading grammar books.
On the other hand
, it is
also
 possible to make the opposing case. It is often argued that in fact, people can be successful by studying by themselves. People often believe
this
 opinion because they believe students must stand on their own two feet in the long run even though they started learning theory with a bit of help. A
second
 point is that not every teacher is able to establish a rapport with every student. A particularly good example here is that the special football manager,
such
 as Jose Mourinho, who nurtured a few world-class footballers might be the worst for some footballers. In conclusion, I believe both arguments have their merits. On balance,
however
, I feel that individual efforts are more crucial than being taught by great teachers because students can make a difference themselves and 'good' mentors cannot be 'good' for everyone. Given
this
 situation, it is recommended for students to have a regular time set aside for daily self-education, thinking of what methods can be the best suited to them.
