Teachers should master the materials they teach. They also must have full acquaintance with the
principals of psychology, education, sociology, and physiology. These principals qualify them to
acquaint the children’s physical and mental potentials along with their natures, functions, and
growth. Likewise, teachers should have familiarity of the most current surveys and norms of

exploring the real states of the teachers. Even if they do, they would not be able to realize the
very reality of the teachers’ doing their jobs properly. It is easy for people to leave the insufficient
