As a teacher in va

2、rious comprehensives for the past 20 years, I have seen many good teachers, and some graduate with good degrees from so-called “good universities. “ But Ive also met a great many excellent teachers who wouldnt have passed his test. Some didnt have degrees in their chosen subjects; others didnt have

3、degrees at all.Camerons mistake is to think qualifications make a good teacher. They dont. Take Lesley, a high-powered business executive. She had everything: a great degree, excellent organisational skills and good communication skills. Yet she failed in the classroom because she was so impatient w

4、ith her pupils: nothing they did was good enough. Whereas her employees had tolerated her endless nit-picking (找茬), her pupils became disaffected.David was another illustration of the shortcomings of Camerons policy: he had a first-class degree from Oxford. I observed him teach what I felt was a rel

5、atively well-behaved class of 12-year-olds. A quarter of an hour in, it was clear that none of the children had the slightest idea what he was talking about; the class began talking, then throwing his elaborate worksheets around the class. Ironically, it was his support teacher, who didnt have a deg

6、ree at all, who rescued the lesson by explaining in clear English what was required.If you dont have the right personality, youll suffer in todays classrooms. In my experience, there are four types of teacher who are effective: the despot(暴君), the carer, the charmer, and the rebel. And none of them,

7、 in my experience, requires an upper-class degree.Ive come across many despotic teachers in my career. They are the Terminator or Lara Croft of teaching; the tough guy or gal who everyone turns to when the going gets really tough. They are nearly always very experienced teachers who know not only al

8、l the pupils but their parents, too, having taught many of them. During my first year of teaching, one of my classes rioted, pushed all the furniture out of my room, swore at me and blew cigarette smoke in my face. I called in the cigar-chomping despot of my school, the deputy head, and he blasted t

9、hem away with a sound telling off.Most people dont advocate this approach to teaching, but I have to admit it can be very effective. Despotic teachers often extract fantastic work from their pupils, and their reputations are usually enough. They arc often highly organised, and in my experience nearl

10、y always achieve above-average results, because they teach the syllabus to the last letter.The opposite of the despot is the caring teacher. Without wanting to stereotype too much, many carers are women. They become deputy parents for their pupils. Many dont have degrees, and have been appointed as

11、“mentors“ or “support teachers“ to help struggling pupils plan out their lives working out ways in which they can do their work most effectively. Usually, pupils love seeing their mentors, and learn from them the vital skill of “taking responsibility for their own learning. “ Ive taught some pupils

12、who were really going off the rails taking drugs, skipping school, getting into fights yet when they were taken under the wing of one of these teachers, they transformed and blossomed.Unlike the despot, the caring teacher works with lots of people: parents, other teachers, social workers. What she o

13、r he manages to do is make pupils see they can control and shape their own lives. The teacher might mother her charges to death in the process, but the end result is nearly always a happy pupil who has achieved very much against the odds.The “charmer“, on the other hand, is quite different from both

14、 these previous kinds of the teaching profession. They can be a disorganised species. They are frequently highly academic, and are in teaching to be mates with their pupils, to understand them and play with them. With this sort of teacher, the classroom becomes one great big, bouncing playground of

15、learning.Take Martin, one of the best teachers Ive come across, who would totally change direction mid-lesson if hit by some new inspiration. He was very disorganised, but did everything with a wink and a smile.Finally, theres the most controversial but often most effective kind of teacher: the rebe

16、l. These teachers see school as a place that should aim to transform society. They are also a dying breed.Using thinkers such as Karl Marx and the Brazilian educational philosopher Paulo Freire, they believe that our children have been brainwashed by our capitalistic society into making certain assu

17、mptions about inequality, exploitation, injustice. They see the classroom as the place where these children can be “deprogrammed“ and make amazing teachers because they are so passionate and persuasive. In the staffroom, they frequently rage against the system. Even if you disagree with their politi

18、cs, you have to admit they deliver blinding lessons, whatever their subject.But the crucial point here is that none of these teachers learned their skills by getting a good degree: they learned them on the job. All could improve by watching other good teachers in the classroom and learning from thei

19、r techniques. However, there are some “generic“ traits which should be borne in mind when discussing whats best for our schools.Research shows that all the best teachers motivate their pupils to work hard, and assess them very regularly. Recently, I feel Ive improved my teaching because Ive learned

20、more about assessing my pupils frequently; instead of concentrating upon my teaching, Ive looked more closely at what my pupils are learning and tailored my lessons accordingly.Instead of discouraging teachers with his ill-informed comments about what makes a good teacher, Cameron should commit hims

21、elf to putting proper money and time into training the existing teachers in the system. His current policy, if implemented, wont improve the standards of teaching, and will instead further dishearten an already discouraged profession.（分数：49.00）(1).Lesley had everything for a good teacher EXCEPT _.A.
