Journal [April 15]
Referring to the quote, "If you can't do, teach."
According to many, the writer of this quote was dead wrong.
1. If I could have one teacher do the work he assigns it would probably be my pre-calculus teacher, simply because it's hard and very time consuming. Especially for us students who just got into the subject and have a hard time learning things that are hard to comprehend in general, I would like him to see what we feel sometimes. He would assign work even when we had tests to study for the next day, and I can assure that it made a lot of his students stressed. I do appreciate the effort he puts to guide and educate the class, but sometimes it can just be a little too much to handle.
2. Choosing between "doing something well or teaching someone else to do it" I think that doing something well is much easier. Considering that you can already do that thing well, then it's an obvious answer to choose. Also, teaching someone to do something is really hard for some people, even teacher (and that's their job), but for the most part it usually depends on the learners and how much they're willing to do to actually learn. For me, teaching someone to do something is difficult, because my tips and shortcuts may not be helpful for others and can be confusing too, also I can be an impatient person and I would probably lose the effort to want to teach. Don't get me wrong, teaching someone and seeing how much they accomplish because of you si a beautiful feeling, but I would rather skip on it.
