I quite agree that it is necessary for college teacher to work outside for some time to gain knowledge relevant to the courses they teach. After all, education is something more than delivering knowledge in the specific field.

Admittedly, spending time outside the academic world could be harmful to teaching and researching since it interrupts【interrupts】 the regular process and might keep the professors and teachers from concentrating on the subject they are studying. Consequently, the quality of the course might be reduced and the students might learn less what they should learn but more what they needn't learn at such a【an】 early time considering the fact that the basic knowledge is a must before one attempt to try something new. In short, the length of the time spent outside should be properly controlled and more attention should actually paid【be paid】 to the course itself.

However, the professional world should also be made use of enough so that the students could be aware of the right thing they are preparing to deal with in the future. After all, the nature of education involves not only inculcating knowledge into students, but also building the ability to think and solve problems in practice. Only after they are trained enough to apply what they have learnt to what they need to face with in practice can they claim to be truly educated. One of the professor【professors】 of my college always provide us with the background of every theory and the related application in the field of mathematics. What he presented, for example, the theory of google【Google】 which is closely related to algebra, catches our attention and makes us know what can be solved by the knowledge we acquire, which is a significant incentive in the process of learning. As a result, his class is always the most popular one, and his students mostly attained better future academically. In this angle, although the knowledge is a bases, the application outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses is a motivation that every one is in need of.

Moreover, it is important to renew the knowledge in any field in this rapidly changing era. Nowadays, the knowledge and technology change and progress so fast that no one is able to acquire the information immediately and fully. What people need to do becomes【become】 narrowing down the field they are in and try to get the information in this small world as quickly as possible, which requires knowledge not only in the academic field but also in the profession field. In this light, it is natural that faculties are supposed to spend time working outside so that they are able to bring new technology, information, knowledge and skills as many as possible in time.

In sum, as long as the time spent in the ourside【outside】 world doesn't influence the teaching, it is a wise way to acquire information in the professional world to enable the knowledge in the academic world to be applied and make the knowledge renew timely.
