A well-trained teacher is not nervous, because she has the confident which comes of knowing that she is fully prepared for her work. She can help all her pupils, from the brightest to the slowest; and when she realizes, from the silence of her class when she asks a question, that they have not understood what she has explained, she is able to repeat her explanation again in different ways. Above all, she must never cause her pupils to lose confidence(信心). She must always speak to them kindly and when one of them turns red with shame at having answered a question after a long delay instead of easily, she must quickly make him or her feel at ease again. I was once sad to see a teacher being unkind to a girl who put up her hand and then answered a question with mistakes.
