The argument of whether a strict teacher or a lenient teacher is better has sparked a lively debate among my peers. A strict teacher ensures rules are obeyed, while a lenient teacher offers a more relaxed approach that can foster creativity and critical thinking. In my opinion, a lenient teacher is a better choice for students.
Lenient teachers provide students with the freedom to explore their ideas, creating an environment where learning feels like an adventure. This approach can lead to increased student engagement and motivation, as learners feel valued and understood. Students can develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. Additionally, lenient teachers build strong connections with their students, care about their learning, and trust them to take ownership of their education.
A lenient teacher also plays a significant role in personal growth and development. They help students strategise their plans for the future, believe in themselves, and showcase their true skills and talents. By expressing their feelings and ideas in a supportive environment, students can thrive and reach their full potential. Lenient teachers make learning a fun and exciting experience, like an adventure in a world of wonders and mysteries.
In conclusion, while some may prefer strict teachers, I believe that a lenient teacher is a better approach. Lenient teachers offer numerous benefits, including increased student engagement, motivation, and personal growth. By providing a supportive and nurturing environment, lenient teachers can help students develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
