In class we had a debate on which is more important for a teacher to have subject knowledge or professional knowledge. I feel that professional knowledge is the most importat. Although I do feel that subject knowledge is still importat. I think that everyone would agree with me that if we could have chosen two of the sides we would have. I think that it is easier for someone to learn new material on a suject then to learn how to teach. I think that teaching is something that can't really be taught it is something that comes naturally in a person's personality.
We have all had that university professer who is super knowledgable on a subject but can't get to information across to the students. Just because someone knows a lot about a subject doesn't mean that they can get that information across for someone else to understand. I don't think that just because someone got all A's in school that this makes them a bettet teacher. It is great though to have both!
