Student Successes

学生的成功

Closely related to the previous pick, student success is what drives teachers to continue. Each student who didn't understand a concept and then learned it through your help can be exhilarating. And when you actually reach that student that others have written off as being unteachable, this can truly be worth all the headaches that do come with the job.

这个理由与上一条密切相关，学生的成功是教师们坚持的动力。学生不理解某个概念，但随后通过你的帮助学会了，每一个这样的学生都会令你感到愉快。当你最终影响了那个被别人认为是教不了的学生时，这份工作带给你的各种头疼也就值得了。

Teaching a Subject Helps You Learn a Subject

教一门学科有助于你学习这门学科

You will never learn a topic better than when you start teaching it. I remember my first year teaching AP Government. I had taken Political Science courses in college and thought I knew what I was doing. However, the student questions just made me dig deeper and learn more. There is an old adage¹ that it takes three years of teaching to truly master a subject and in my experience this is the truth.

你开始教一门学科的时候是你学得最好的时候。还记得我教AP Government课程的第一年，因为在大学曾学过政治学，所以我觉得我应该清楚自己的授课内容。但是学生们的问题让我钻研得更深、学得更多。有句老话说，花三年时间教一门功课你才能真正掌握它，从我自身的经历来看，这是事实。（小编注：AP考试是由大学理事会主办的全国统一考试，在全美2万多所高中有60％提供在高中阶段开设具有大学水平的AP课程。）
