102 Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
When confronted with various questions, different people make different decisions due to their personal experience and preference. One of such intriguing issues is whether schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. As far as I am concerned, I strongly support that evaluation from students will help to upgrade the teaching quality significantly. My view will be substantiated greatly in the following discussion.
To begin with, the first plain reason I am presenting here is that the most revealing criticisms for a teacher are from his students. Teachers spend most of their time with their students in class, teaching knowledge to students and discussing problems with them. So these constructive criticisms from students will help teachers to enhance their strength and improve their weakness. In this way, evaluation from students is necessary.
Next, in the process of evaluation, students can develop a good relationship with their teachers. For instance, students can express their opinions outright, such as which subjects they are most interested in, which teaching method they adapt to quickly. In turn, these evaluations will be an accurate feedback, and from which teachers can know what their students are thinking about and find a better method to communicate with them.
In addition, these evaluations from students provide a truly evidence for schools to judge the working quality of these teachers and pose more pressure on them. Administrations of the school will form a comprehensive impression from the students' evaluations, and therefore will encourage teachers to put more efforts in their work and to update their knowledge on time.
Admittedly, there may be some objections immediately that students sometimes do not have the ability to evaluate their teachers or to understand their behavior. As a proverb says 'Everything has its two sides.' I agree with this opinion to some extent, however, this negative side effect cannot outweigh the foundation for my view as discussed above.
To sum up, due to what have been discussed above, which often interweave into an organic whole and become more persuasive, I may safely reach my conclusion that evaluations from students will benefit the teachers as well as the school significantly.   |
