Some people hold the view that a good teacher is more important for education success while others think the student's attitude is more important to succeed in education. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Whether

successful academic attainment is more dependent on having

teachers or on the

student

attitude

, is the subject of much debate. While some say educational success hinges primarily on the

teacher

, others say the learner's character is more important.

This

than the

say that

For example

On the other hand

matters more than how

is not properly motivated and enthusiastic about academics, the attempts by the

to impart knowledge will be fruitless. To illustrate, they mention the case of Northern

This

As a result

of the frivolous regard with which

becomes elusive when one is present and the other is not.
