A student is writing an editorial article for the school newspaper. The article is about the benefits and drawbacks of students
being able to grade their teachers’ performance. The student wants to revise the draft to clearly connect the points made to support his claim. Read the draft of the editorial, and then answer the question. Teachers have always graded their students’ performance based on their knowledge and progress in a particular subject. So, shouldn’t the students in turn be able to grade the performance of their teachers? It would benefit the teacher’s understanding of what teaching methods work best within the classroom. It would also bring light to whether or not the teacher is getting through to his or her students. Students who were unable to voice their opinion about a particular behavior that they felt unprofessional would be able to share it on their own grading report. This also will provide good teachers with the motivation to continue to do their absolute best with methods that are working. After seeing the results of their evaluation, teachers can then focus on bettering their methodology in the classroom.
The real question is whether or not students themselves are mature enough to take the grading process seriously. Students may misinterpret what truly makes a good teacher and evaluate them purely based on the easiness of a class. Sometimes students may have a favorite teacher, but they may not base that upon the actual effectiveness of that particular teacher. The most adverse effect to the student’s evaluation is whether it intimidates the teacher to lessen their authoritativeness in the classroom. Students would also have to remain anonymous to ensure the teacher cannot penalize them for a poor evaluation.
