Statement 6: A good teacher should never confuse you.

Maths can be spoken everywhere because it is an universal language, and the intriguing side of it is that there are numerous ways of getting a result, with the employment of different methods. Mathematics itself is not ambiguous, the way it is presented or approached at a classroom may be ambiguous. There are no good or poor presentations, there are just different ways of covering or introducing a topic. A sense of confusion is not necessarily bad, on the contrary, it may be good. It pushes both the students and the teacher to find the most suitable way of treating and understanding a topic. This confusion may also lead to the search of a path that works better for everyone, and in the end, this blurry feeling of not knowing where to go may had built confidence on that student who was kind of lost but found another way to do it. To sum up, I think that the great thing about science in general is that the methods of teaching will usually vary, and that there are no good or bad presentations, just different ways, finding the one that suits everybody is what truly matters.
