While some people believe that good teachers at school are the key to succeed academically for students, others believe that students need to be more serious and determined towards studies for better success. This essay will outline both the perspectives, but in my opinion a serious attitude and positive determination of a student plays a more important role in the academic success of students at school.
Teachers play a pivotal role in the educational and personal development of students by inculcating better knowledge and understanding during their teaching time. The experience and knowledge teachers have can help students learn and grow better. For example, a teacher can pay individual attention to weaker students and help them in areas which need more time and hard work, along with giving a little extra boost to students who need some extra assistance.
On the other hand, a serious attitude and determination towards studies by an individual plays a very important role in the academic development. If a student is non-serious and lacks interest and attention at school, no matter how competent the teacher is the student will not be able to learn effectively. For example, a student who is more determined to achieve better grades will work harder, show more interest at school lectures, give more time for assignments and try to achieve better results. Careful attention during lectures and staying up to date with the assignments and assessments by the students is the key to better learning and improved academic growth.
To conclude, although teachers play a pivotal role in the academic development of students, the hard work, attitude and determination shown by the student is the principal contributor for a better success at school.
