“The teacher and the taught together create the teaching.” An Eastern saying.
Does this refer to the good teacher and the clever student? I do not think so.
In the same class, with the same teacher, there will be students who fail and others pass. I think It’s more about the student’s effort than the gift of having a good teacher. The teacher, the student and the subject create education. They all have to be there to make the process.
In my undergraduate studies, I had to choose another language to study. My choice was Spanish. Our tutor was Espanol and his teaching method was to give us long different topics in spanish. He was the one to read and explain and we were the receivers. He was too fast to follow or understand. I remember how my friend and I spent most of the time laughing; we could not understand anything, just looking at the translation most of the time. However we had never failed and surprisingly I used to have good grades.
I’ve almost forgot all of what I learned; it’s been long time ago, but I still remember my teacher.
Wishing you all the best,
Adios,
