Title:
All school teachers should be required to take courses every five years to update their knowledge.(From 1201 TOEFL)
To agree or disagree with the title statement that all school teachers should be required to take courses every five years to update their knowledge is actually a matter of balancing its pros and cons. However, if you consider the following reasons I'll elaborate, you may disagree with the title statement as I do.
What is the most important function as a teacher? No one can doubt that it is teaching. And most of the teachers are so busy in teaching, they cannot leave their students to take knowledge updating course for even one day. Take this example into your mind, in China, the grade three year of high school can be the most essential and critical year for a student in his or her education background. Every single day for them is urgent. So at this moment, how can you imgine that one of their main subject teachers, like English teacher or Physical teacher is going to leave them to take a course. This is crucial for both of them.
What is more, I'm not denying that the current knowledge is changing so rapid. However, I tend to believe that this situation only happen in the Hi-Tech edge field, which means the very basic knowledge primary school and milldle school teachers are teaching stays the same as before. For instance, the Law of Force found by Newton is still correct, and it seems that it will maintain correct in the next 50 or 500 years. So You just don't have to let the teachers attend such knowledge updating course every five years compulsively.
Admittedly, updating knowledge is very helpful and useful for both teachers and students. And I believe there must be a better way to accomplish such requirement than the title statement required.
In sum, from the reasons I mentioned above, you can comprehend that teachers are busy, they have no time to attend such knowledge updating course. And it appears that they may not have to attend it. So I disagree with the title statement.
