A "good" teacher is a "STRICT" teacher

My stand in that is... it may be good at some point and in some students... but not all will have a good effect to those concerns. What if a person has a weak personality, he/she may come out in a very negative effect. Not all people has the same attitudes towards teaching style of their teacher. Like you, I don't mind to have a strict teacher as long as there's soft and mild teacher to make a balance. I had a strict prof way back and she made us do our things well done in a very meticulous and perfectionist way and i find it a motivation ... to do my best! But how about to others?! I just hope that all... students and teachers will have a consideration and understanding that can help each one of them for more effective learning and teaching ahead!

Well.. thats not the case every-time. A teacher who knows his disciple's ways of learning and understanding things can come up with many innovative techniques to help him handle the subject better, rather than being harsh and strictly abiding the old teaching standards. Strictness has been the best means of teaching as it helps to inculcate virtues like hard work, determination and besides, schools cant pay attention to each and every individual. But for some one who knows the path very well may find some means, other than traditional ones, to direct his/her students towards the goal. This type of innovative teaching not only help students achieve their target but also broadens their outlook towards different aspects of a simple looking concept. Awakening their conscience is much important than making them cram some not so important topic.

I totally agree with you. My daughter had a very tough teacher last year. She was very passionate and went above and beyond with her students. Because of this they hated her class and called her mean. However, each one of her students passed the state tests. She was one of the only teachers in the school to achieve this! Now the kids realized what she did was a good thing. Pushing them to their limit might not make you popular but it will make your students learn.

I was ever taught by a hard teacher. She was my math teacher when I studied at Junior High School. Perhaps, my friends were clueless to hear what Junior High School looks like. In Indonesia, each children is obliged to continue their education to Junior High School after they had finished from the primary school, they are usually from the age of 12 to 15 years. In Junior High School, we learned Math, Sport, English Language and the like. The level of difficulty of each is medium. My math was known very discipline, she was a very smart teacher. She dictated each class with the same way and method as well. She treated all her student the same, there was no smart or stupid one for her. All student are same in her eyes. She was not ever hesitate to shout out aloud or hit her student if we didn't do our homework. There was no way forgiving for a student who missed her subject or class as well. The class turned to be a chaotic place if you were not well prepared for her subject. I was used to get beaten if I didn't memorize the rules that she taught us the last day. She never broke her promise, she was always on time in detecting what something wrong has happened in the class. Overall, she was a good teacher and she was ranked no 2 the smartest teacher for Math for the entire district in our place. I salute to her.

oh I agree that a good teacher is a strict teacher! My 5th grade teacher had previously been in the armed forces. She was loud as all get out and commanded your attention. She was the hardest teacher I ever had in my whole life. Of course, I don't remember EVERYTHING she taught me but I do remember all 50 states in alphabetical order, and the South American countries and their capitals. I use to be able to say all the presidents in order but hmm... guess I forgot that LOL

I like strict teacher more than those "nice" teacher. Yes, it may be under pressure during their lesson. However, it can help me to remain listen and follow their teaching way instead of day dreaming. For those nice teacher, it may be fun during lesson. But after the lesson, i find out that i learnt nothing... somehow wasted of time. I like hardworking and have reward from it :)

I don't believe that. I think that a good instructor is an influential instructor, someone who can really motivate the students to learn and work. There is a difference between being strict and giving the students real motivation. I have had all kinds of teachers and professors, and the truly good ones are the ones that can motivate their students. Some of the really good teachers and professors I have had knew how to get their students going by using what was around in their daily lives.

I do agree that yes, some (not all) strict teachers can be good teachers. They may be strict because they want their students to learn and not slack off and maybe some students would take it in the wrong way. Like just thinking that the teacher was being mean or just giving way too much homework. I've had a teacher like this who was strict, it did me no good then because I didn't do so well in the class. Now I think to myself because of that strict teacher, I know the things that I know now. Now I say, that not all strict teachers are good because, some of them have their favorites and some of them are strict to those they don't like. I've had a teacher like this as well, and it was horrible being in their class.

No in my opinion this is not true good is always is strict. But yes if our teacher is strict then we feel ohhhh how danger teacher but not understand they want to good life for us.

The best teachers need not necessarily be strict but they need to be able to discipline the students and at the same time motivate them to do their tasks. Some students prefer strict teachers because they are motivated by fear. However, there are also students who are more motivated if they can approach the teacher for help without fear of being reprimanded.

You are right with that. But the teacher I really considered as a good teacher is the teacher who had help me make change the wrong things in my life. She had given us many interesting and encouraging advice. She made me turn into a good student and a good person. It's a nice discussion.

hi davaome, i think a good teacher ia a strict teacher to be right in some aspects.for example,learning to drive a car.my train is very strict with me.so i passed it,but not the whole.

The role of a teacher in this case, I assume, is to educate and to help students do well in their studies. In that case, I would feel that strict teachers tend to get the job done better as the environment which they create in the classroom would not allow for any folly or any tardiness, which in turn would create a much more focused student. With that being said however, the student would be stressed out easily, and this can be detrimental to the students well being if the teacher continues to be overly strict. Nonetheless, if we look at a good teacher, then yes, most "good" teachers are generally "stricter". Personally, I did have strict teachers which really drove me to my limits with the amount of assignments, but that has instead increased my capacity to do work, so yes, i did have good teachers.

It is a true fact that strict teachers are really the good ones. I have gone through many teachers in my life and the strict ones were appreciated by me in my heart.

You are right my friend. Good teacher is always a strict teacher. This is because they like make us grow and want to be strict in certain activities. This is surely help the students to grow in their life.

It's the same thing I noticed when I was still studying. Those that are strict and serious types are the ones that could motivate us to do good and study the subject, especially those that speaks with authority.

I don't believe that a good teacher is a strict teacher. It is an old fashioned way or old method of strategy in teaching. Now a days in modern society, children are not afraid anymore to their strict teacher. Programs has changed and schools developed and designed new strategies for teaching as well as curriculum that fits in today's students.

The best teachers I had were not the strict ones, but the ones that won our respect. We worked harder just because we respect those people too much not to do so. We wanted them to appreciate us and we did our best in order not to let them down. No strict teacher could ever achieve that.

Well, it depends how strict your professor is, and whether he or she was being reasonable. I'm currently studying languages and communication for my degree. One of my communication lecturer is very unreasonable and strict at the same time. Imagine he asked us to present an international conflict negotiation issue and only gave us, a whole group 10 minutes to present everything. Any second exceeding would results in minus 10 marks. God, presentation has always been longer than 10 minutes or even 20 minutes if we would like to elaborate the idea and points, images and videos etc. The more the information, the better. But he is doing such unprofessional yet selfish decision because that he is running short of time. He is totally the opposite of "good" teacher.

Strict teachers are very good for a lot of people and may not be so good for some. We all learn differently. You bring a horse to the water but you cannot force it to drink. Finding a way to make your students passionate about what they're learning will help them motivate themselves to learn. Teachers implement different tactics to evoke passion from their students. Finding a way to make the student hungry to learn is key. It may be strict for some or some teachers may find a way to make the learning fun and have the students actively participate in the learning. There is a technique called guided discovery which many teachers of elementary age students implement. I find this technique very valuable.
