sssdarlings:elderflowertea:I think it is harder getting good teachers. Anyway, we can't just simply look at their grades for teachers. We have to see if they can actually teach. Some teachers may not have fantastic grades but they have the patience and can explain difficult concepts in simple terms.I had this Indian MOE scholar who taught us Physics in secondary school as our teacher was on maternity leave. And we couldn't really understand him at all. Although he tried to explain the concepts to us but I think he made it too complicated for us to digest.Agree that good grades do not always translate to good teachers (besides patience, building rapport and EQ are vital too)... Language proficiency matters a great deal, to me at least.Of course, they still have to be able to speak proper English or any language that they teach in.
