Should students be allowed to grade their teachers?



Comment  Their  Teacher??
 


Now days, many things happen that cause the student to teacher relationship becomes strained. This will cause the student to hate against a subject. In addition the teachers are not good at teaching, causing students to be lazy and interest in learning them is reduced. Indeed, teachers are the most important component in the teaching and learning process. The way teachers teach can affect learning interest of students. Who knows how the teachers good or not are students. If the teacher not good is need students comments to make the teacher better. So, should students be allowed to grade their teachers?

There are many sites these days that allow students to grade their teachers. Is this really necessary? Yes, students should be allowed to grade their teacher. First of all, letting the teacher know how well he/she teaches students, helps them to realize what works and what doesn't. Secondly, students should state their opinion because there may be a teacher who is not teaching well and students are uncomfortable with that particular teacher. Grading system will help appraise the performance of the teachers and measure the satisfaction level of the students. This in turn will help teachers to mark their areas of improvement. Lastly, if there are very good teachers and the students agree with this, that would boost the teacher’s confidence because they could teach knowing that the students appreciate him or her. Therefore, teachers should be evaluated by their students because it helps them improve, helps separate the good and bad teachers, and also helps the teacher trust that they are doing a good job.

On the other hand, students grade their teachers also not good, as it would directly give the authority in the hands of students. They are not mature enough to judge a teacher as their judging parameters will be based on various other things other than teaching. And the integrity of a teacher can never be judged. Beside that grade teacher also can make some teacher getting illness that will impact to the way the teacher teach the students. Jealousy will arise among the teachers who can lead teacher relationships with one another become not harmonious.

Actually Grade teacher is no matter, but how the way students grade the teacher? Grade teachers can improve teacher skill to teach the students. But, just because kids do not like their teacher as a person doesn't mean that should effect the evaluation, the response should be based on the teachings. Grading based on the teaching will have good effect in teaching and learning process.
