In Taiwan, children have the rights to study for free till grade 9th and so elementary and junior high schools are partly subsidized by the government. Therefore, I thought pupils at school could be offered a completely educational care.
Apparently, some of them didn't get into their jobs well. The importance of education I think it's to explore one's potential for different areas instead of punishing them for failing on a test.
Eric, one of my cousins, is clever and creative. He always thinks of something that would amaze me. I teach him English after school recently.
One day his mom, my aunt, told me that Eric's scores on English at junior high school were gradually down. And I was surprised since he's always done well on my tests. After examining if it's anything wrong about my teaching method, I realized that Eric's English teacher didn't teach them step by step, and she just skipped lots of grammar using and vocabulary that would appear on the test paper.
And I'm wondering, there are so many pupils who don't get a tutor to teach them one by one and how would they pass the exams?
What should a teacher do to help his/her children in class? Maybe it's not just scolding them on low grades, and teachers should examine on their teaching ways, knowing that they didn't make the kids understand.
Today Eric's mum told me that Eric was punished for being not able to finish a flute song.
I'm confused by the meaning of a teacher's existence.
