Here in our town there is a man who is a maths genius.He serves as a maths teacher at a high school.But,even he himself admits,he is not a good teacher.He does not have the ability to explain the subject to his students in a easy-to-understand way. I think,teaching is much more difficult than learning.Do you agree?

@amnabas Do you teach your children at home? Do you explain difficult subjects to them and do they understand it easily? If yes,then you are indeed a good teacher.

A genius will not understand the problems faced by the ordinary. That means an averagely gifted can empathize more with normal students. And then passion and patience count too to teach well - siva

@Shiva49 You're absolutely right,Sir.Like political leaders good teachers too have the talent to see the problem faced by their students with the latter's eyes.I agree with you.

@sabtraversa Agreed, it is like being a leader. They can empathize more with the yearnings of common folks if they were one of them previously. Otherwise it is more of "if they don't have bread why can't they eat cakes?" I have mentioned in my last post how leaders set their agenda for confrontation with countries ignoring the vast majority have no issues to coexist with one another. The problems and wars are kept alive by politicians, arms merchants and religious bigots - siva

I am a future teacher. I do agree with you, teaching is not easy

A teacher should know how to teach students..But I think it is not that difficult if they used to it..I mean to say is that a teacher should understand the concept well, when he or she was student..If they understand the subject better, they can teach better..

@Awasthi123 You're right.But understanding a concept is one thing and making other's understand it is another.Teaching is an art. A person may understand a subject very well,but they may not necessarily be a good teacher.

@Awasthi123 You're are right.Imagine,you're a teaching taking a class.Imagine,you are a teacher and your students are sitting in front of you.Try to explain the subject to them. But remember,here the students are imaginary.Imaginary students can't tell you what problems they are facing.The proactive you have mentioned can improve your speaking skills only.To be a good teacher you need to make the subject easy for your students.

@else34 Yes I completely agree with you..But if a person understand the subject well and they will able to teach others.. They have to practice how to teach others..If they teach imaginery classes then they will able to teach in real life..
