I would love to see teachers who care more about their profession. Seminary has a lot of teachers who are there only to coach and it reflects on the quality of their teaching.

Seminary teachers make sure you understand the lesson. Most times if they see students struggling they reteach the lesson, change their wording to make students understand, They implement books and technology in their lessons. Now a days their are different websites being created to help us students in different subjects areas.

From growing up playing sports with your friends, to having one on one time with teachers who will help you any way they know how, you will never have those close of relationships at a bigger school.
