Some people think that success in learning depends mainly on the great guidance of the teacher rather than individual competency. I disagree with the statement because scholastic success also relies on learners’ other attributes.
The main reason support for my stance is that students with lower ability may find it difficult to gain remarkable scholastic results despite the provision of good teaching. For example, in professional English literature, some students may not take notes and present them based on the teacher’s lecture but others cannot be carefully recorded. Similarly, when teachers give the same tests as the lectures in the class, many students cannot get high marks due to poor calculation ability.
Moreover, individuals learning styles and preferences also contribute to scholastic success. Although good teaching can be suitable for many students, who are curious and desire to learn deeply knowledge will be more likely to achieve success. For instance, students who have been fascinated by the word of biology can be driven to read books, watch television, and attend workshops about biology outside of the regular school curriculum.
In conclusion, I disagree that good teaching is more important than individual ability because of how well teachers can deliver their classes, students without learning ability will fail and the self-study ability of students plays an important role in scholastic success.
