A good education is very important for the healthy development of a child. But the way in which education is understood has changed completely. In the past, stern and rough ways were used to bring up a child, and unfeeling rules were supposed to create the excellent personality of the typical gentleman. Nowadays, society is much more open-minded and it does not put a great value on being so strict with children although this doesn’t mean that opinions regarding this subject do not differ.
On the one hand, there are those in favor of a strict teacher and the narrow-minded people who consider that only a rough hand is able to properly educate a child. Firstly, according to them, children should fear their teachers, as this is the only way in which they will pay attention. In addition to that, they think that a pupil will never learn because he enjoys doing so and takes interest in what he is doing, but only because that is what he is supposed to do if he doesn’t want a low grade.
On the other hand, there are people who believe that only by having a friendly attitude and listening to the opinions of their pupils can a teacher do his job at a high standard. Their opinion is that there has to be a connection between teachers and students before any satisfying result can be achieved. Luckily, more and more teachers understand this fact and are doing their best to get over the strict rules and get in touch with their students.
However, this does not mean that a teacher shouldn’t be a bit tougher when he feels that things are getting out of hand. All in all, I must say that a good teacher is a teacher that has the ability to be kind and strict at the same time, thus winning the respect and interest of his students.
Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “stern” in the first paragraph?
A. Strict B. Ridiculous C. Unhealthy D. Impolite
Narrow-minded people think that students will only learn because of _____.
A. their interest in knowledge
B. their desire to get high marks

Which of the following is NOT an opinion held by people who believe a teacher should be
friendly?
A. Teachers should lower the standards for students
B. Teachers should have a kind attitude to students
C. Teachers should pay attention to their students’ opinions
D. Teachers should often communicate with students.
According to the author, a teacher should______.
