On the other hand there is a strong connection between that Methods of teaching the teacher and that Successes in learning the pupil. The fact that usually about the whole basic school time a teacher strength informs predominantly can have substantial negative consequences for the pupils in the case of a badly informing teacher or personal adjustment difficulties of teacher and pupil.
