YES NO
Teachers have the capability of explaining points in a
deeper way and provide not only theoretical knowledge
but also practical experience about life.

In the conventional teaching and learning mode,
teachers and students co-exist in an environment where
they can have timely interaction. This means teachers
can have a more comprehensive and direct
understanding of their students' strong points and
shortcomings, which guarantees that students can learn
more from the courses tailored to their needs.

Teachers not only function as initiators who impart
knowledge but also serve as supervisors or guardians.
This is especially true in the case where students are
less self-disciplined and inclined to go astray without
the supervision and guidance from teachers.
With the advent of the Internet and other
telecommunication technologies, there is a vastly
growing wealth of resources available from an
immense range of media outlets.

The Intemet and TV are also easily accessible
platforms for students in remote areas where
teaching resources are not as abundant as those in
more developed regions.
Conducting research is an active process, which

allows youngsters to focus on the smallest details
rather than passively listen to a lecture in a large
classroom, not to mention the extensiveness of
learning methods attainable.

Do Students Learn More from Classes than from Other Sources?

   In the information age, the traditional student-teacher relationship has been affected deeply and people begin to doubt whether students can learn more from classes than from other sources. According to the conventional view, teachers are still the primary source from which students obtain knowledge, because of the professional knowledge taught in school, the timely interaction in class, and the supervision from teachers. On the contrary, nowadays many people believe that students can learn more from other sources since they have a variety of ways to acquire knowledge.
   For me, I am in favor of the first viewpoint. Teachers play an irreplaceable role in education whether in the past or at present, since they not only impart knowledge, but also nurture people. For one thing, what students learn from class is more precise than what they learn from other sources, which provide an enormous amount of data needed to be sifted through to determine which is accurate. For another, teachers in schools put the shaping of personality which is hard for students to learn from other sources, in a place just as important as the imparting of knowledge.
   In conclusion, the development of cutting-edge technology has a big impact on modem education. However, it can never eliminate the need for high-quality professionals in classrooms.
