Great Relation, Great Result

           

Students are the only true wealth of a nation and their education is the socio-moral responsibility of the country. To be educated is both their right as well as duty. From the zero to the modern day schools, teaching and learning methodologies have taken a quantum leap. It is debated whether a system of grading of teachers by students should be introduced in schools to improve the learning and teaching environment.

            Closeness of the relationships allows the students to have the right of evaluating their teachers provided they do so without being rude or disrespectful to them. Moreover, this grading of teachers should be just for the sake of improvement in teaching style, course content etc, rather than followed by some personal grudge or favoritism. If taken and performed positively, this evaluation is going to work for the progress of not only teachers, schools, colleges, universities, but also for students.

From these evaluations, teachers will come to know what students like or dislike about the teaching methodology and content. They will realize which topics are difficult or easy from students’ point of view. They will discover which activities are more enjoyable, affective and motivating for students to learn more and better. Also, teachers find out the ways that reach out to students and avoid the ways that don’t, e.g. they can change the way they deliver a lecture or they can facilitate students to participate in activities they like. This all will contribute to the quality of teaching and teacher-student relationship.

On the other hand, teachers can also receive increments in their salaries if their evaluations are marked good by their students. Concerning administration benefits, student evaluations give an idea of which teachers are most effective and popular among students. They help administrators to know if their students are satisfied or not with the school, college or university program. Also, it provides the administration a guideline for the improvement of the whole institution.

Thus the students, parents and the school head should collectively and responsibly grade the teachers in a fair way. It is a promising concept and will yield surprisingly good results if refined and applied with the right conditions as proposed above. The future of the country depends how well the students are nurtured when they are in their formative years. The system of grading of teachers may prove to be a present for the institutions who aim to nurture the “hope of tomorrow”.

Is it a Problem ?

Homework, or homework assignment, refers to tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed outside of class. Common homework assignments may include a quantity or period of reading to be performed, writing or typing to be completed, problems to be solved, a school project to be built such as a display, or other skills to be practiced.

The basic objectives of assigning homework to students are the same as schooling in general. To increase the knowledge and improve the abilities and skills of the students. However, opponents of homework cite homework as rote, or grind work, designed to take up children's time, without offering real benefit. Homework may be designed to reinforce what students have already learned, prepare them for next (or complex or difficult) lessons, extend what they know by having them apply it to new situations, or to integrate their abilities by applying many different skills to a single task. Homework also provides an opportunity for parents to participate in their children's education.

homework is obviously helpful. Firstly it enables teachers to know which students are ready to move onto the next topic and which aren't as in a busy classroom its hard for a teacher to know who's copying who. Secondly it lets students prepare for adult life by teaching them discipline. Thirdly it teaches children to do well in exams and even if the student can do the work it never hurts to practice. To some students it might be boring, for some tedious but you cannot get past the fact that it benefits their schoolwork and exam results.

Homework can take longer for a lot of people. Some people have to spend most of the afternoon and weekend doing homework, and it is unfair to others who can finish it in 30 minutes or sometimes less. Teachers who give more homework are more likely to lose trust and respect from their students. Sometimes without a teacher available, homework can confuse students. Homework takes away a lot of time from students that they don't have. We are very tired by the time we get home. On top of sports, extra-curricular activities, and hanging out with friends, it is a long and tiring school year for everybody.

 Homework makes everything just a little bit more stressful. But if we do the assignment with doing some activities or hobbies like listening music, watching TV and etc. Do homework should be kind of interest activities.
