From the Paper:

"Surely, a teacher can meet various kinds of students - students who have different personalities and views towards studying. At the same time, there is also a great possibility that the teacher will meet several "brainy" or intelligent students and several "low" profile students who have slow means of catching up with the subject matter - may it be in phonemics or K-W-L chart. Thus, as a teacher, he/she must know how to deal with all of these kinds of students. He/she must be well aware on how to be objective in his/her treatment keeping up with his ultimate goal, which is to teach and help develop the students in any way possible. "
