The abc of teacher

Most of the teachers who start working in public or private schools just think to put in practice all knowledge learned at the university. But when teachers get to schools they realize that it is very complex work. In a classroom with thirty or forty students each one with a different necessity and different way to learn and limited resources.

For that reason many teachers have failed because government and educational institutions do not give to teachers the tools required to obtain good results. And the teacher always is the guilty for the poor results. But if you are a critical personal you realize that teachers are not the only responsible in the academic process.

However to solve this problem it is important that the government invest more economic resources to improve the academic infrastructure technology and educational material. And the educational institutions along with teachers have the responsibility to design teaching strategies to apply in the classroom.

On the one hand if we can pretend to get good results in a few time it could be a fallacy because education problem it is very extensive and cover different aspects which demand a carefully attention. On the second hand it is necessary make a depth analysis of each land marks of educational problem.
