The best teacher is one who is very knowledgeable about the subject matter.

Concerns about the number of outstanding teachers working at schools are rising. A high percentage of parents believe that the number of good teachers a school has impacts on the knowledge their children will absorb. Whether good teachers are the ones whose knowledge is greater than their partners' is discussed by many people. The best teachers are those who are very knowledgeable about the subject matter due to different reasons.

Teachers who have accumulated more information about their fields are able to respond students' doubts in a clear and better way. First, students are being bombarded with new and different information every minute; therefore they might not understand certain things they're gathering in their brains. When a student doesn't understand something, he or she recurs to the respective teacher in order to clear his or her doubts. If the teacher is not well-informed about the topic, there won't be a solution to the student's confusion, leaving the question unanswered. Second, teachers who have acquired more information over the years about their respective field have the facility of addressing answers using a selected vocabulary that attends the students' needs, making it easier for them to understand the answer.

The more prepared the teacher is, the better he or she will be at identifying complicated aspects from topics that need to be taught. When teachers identify that certain topics could be too difficult for their students to understand, they try using different methods, such as games, real life examples or stories, to make it easier for their students to interpret what is being instructed. When teachers lack of knowledge, they aren't able to help their students understand difficult contents, or even worse, those contents could be skipped.

In conclusion, teachers who qualify themselves in their respective fields are the best. All the information they have learned helps them to answer the students' doubts and identify what they could struggle with during the teaching and learning process. An outstanding teacher shares knowledge with the students; consequently, teachers who want to be categorized as "the best" must be willing to invest their time absorbing as much knowledge of the subject matter as they can.
