Why We Should Not Be Allowed To Grade Teachers
Pretend that a teacher is explaining a math problem. A student does not understand and tries to ask a question. But the teacher has already proceed. Imagine this student's feelings. Because of situations like this, students should be allowed to grade their teachers.

In many years of schooling, I have witnessed on a daily basis certain teachers coming to school and not teaching. For example, a few teachers I knew didn't teach as if they were teachers, but they gave out work as if they were supervisors. This caused me to self teach at times. Also, I had to ask my peers for help. On the other hand, how do students know what its like to teach, or even how to do it?

That's a good reason why students should not be allowed to grade teachers.

    As a mark of Protest against this proposal, the Chicago Teachers Union representing 26,000 teachers called on a strike on 10th September, 2012. The union said that a student’s grade depends upon many other factors, including a student's health, family situation and the stresses of poverty and hence putting the onus of the grades on a teacher is completely irrelevant.…

    Teachers are trusted with one of the most important jobs in America. Parents send their children to school so that they can receive a proper education and decide what they want to be in the future. Many teachers go above and beyond to help their students with school work, but there are some teachers who are there just to receive a check. These teachers should be eliminated from the school system by allowing students to evaluate them. Students should be allowed to grade their teachers because their teaching methods should be effective, because their attitudes affect students, and because the amount of time spent teaching is important.…

    Media has portrayed teachers in both a goofy light where they are more of a “student/friend” than a teacher or in a very strict by the book regime teacher, where there is no giving. I want student that come into my classroom to feel comfortable and I want them to know that I am not perfect, I am only human and may make mistakes and understand if they make mistakes and will not hold that against them. We will learn together.…

    I believe that understanding the definition of positive child guidance and also how to apply it to the classroom is very important. In order to create a respectful and supportive environment for the teacher, for the children, and also for the parents, the teacher should have a clear understanding of how to incorporate positive child guidance within the classroom and also have set goals on how to accomplish it in the classroom. The definition of positive guidance is equipping children to be independent and helping the children develop self control in a positive way. By providing an environment that is geared towards positive guidance, it creates stronger relationships with adults and other children which is very important relationships for children to have to promote…

    In " A Proposal to Abolish Grading" by Paul Goodman, Goodman suggests that grading should stop and that schools should use only testing as their form of instruction. He reasons that "grading hinders teaching and creates a bad spirit, going as far as cheating and plagiarizing" (Goodman 259). However, I believe that grading is a necessary process for a student's success. To abolish grading and rely solely on testing would place students at risk for failing by placing them in a pressured atmosphere, breaking the link of understanding between student and teacher, and reducing the student's options to cheating.…

    Fair Grading Practices

    • 3125 Words
    • 13 Pages

    For as long as there have been schools, certainly teachers and students have struggled with the issue of grading—the former often using long held but often misguided beliefs about the purpose and method of grading and the latter often disgruntled with the perception that the process used was not fair. I have chosen this topic because grading is a very powerful tool for teachers, students, and entire school systems. Teachers use grades for many reasons: assessing students' comprehension of skills and information, holding students accountable, and reporting student achievement to parents and the school district. School districts use grades to determine the success rate of individuals, classes, and entire schools, as well as for identifying students to receive services.…

    “You can bring a donkey to the water but you can’t let him drink.” This is a Jamaican proverb that I remember hearing my grandmother say over the years. I asked her what she meant and she said, “I can give you all the tools for success, but if don’t want to be successful then it’s on you.” According to Adler and Van Doren, “A teacher may help his student in many ways; it is the student himself who must do the learning” (Kransy and Sokolik, 2010 p.8). “To teach is to impart knowledge of or skill; give instruction” (Dictionary.com) and “to learn is to acquire knowledge of or skill in by study or instruction” (Dictionary.com). I do believe that a teacher can help students but the students have to try and attain or learn the knowledge that the teacher is trying to impart on them.…
