Do you learn better by yourself or with a teacher? Today, in our world, there are many ways of learning But all these ways can be generally grouped into two learning by oneself and being taught by a teacher The former could be further classified into diverse ways of learning which are specific Reading books, making experiments and making researches can be cited as examples This kind of learning would be what I prefer if I were to choose If a teacher was to teach me, he would most likely make my knowledge confined to what he knows This means that I will be fully dependent on his knowledge But if I learn by myself, I would make my own efforts to gain knowledge Through this, I could broaden my knowledge since there is no limit to knowledge gained through practice (effort) For example in mathematics, if a teacher would show me a method of calculating a problem and that will become the only method I know to solve that specific problem But if I solve the problem myself by the knowledge I gained from other sources, I would be compelled to search for other easier methods This may also be connected with memory; you never forget something you learn through the hard way The other reason for my preference is that, if by any chance you come to hate (dislike) your teacher you will without doubt start hating what you`re learning as a result you will deprive yourself of what you want to know You may dislike your teacher because of the way he teaches or because of his behavior or something else, but for whatever reason you hate your teacher, you will obviously lose your enthusiasm for that specific subject matter he is teaching you
