Can anyone be a teacher?


Two weeks ago, our classmates Felipe, Fernanda and Diego made their presentation and debate using the next question: Can anyone be a teacher? as the main topic to explain and debate.
They started giving a lot of information about two different countries where the good job and qualification of teachers is reflected through excellent students' scores, these countries are Finland and South Korea.
After this huge information, they started with the most interesting part of the presentation for me; it was about the Chilean program to support teaching, named "Red Maestros de Maestros", created to fortify the teaching practice and performance.
Finally they started with the debate using the same question that I mentioned before.
I think that this presentation was very clear but a little bit long, as our presentation, I think that they made the same mistake at the moment of choosing the information which was too much, I also think that this presentation would have been better with more information about our own reality in Chile and less information about Finland and North Korea.
Personally, the most interesting stages for me were the explanation of "Red Maestros de Maestros" and the debate where the whole class was clearly interested at the moment of comment and give opinions and personal experiences.
As a conclusion, good presentation but with a lot of extra and non interesting information for me.
