Beyond Blame: Rethinking Teacher Responsibility

in Hive Learnersyesterday

In the world of Education, lives the teachers who guides in knowledge to guarantee success and students whose excellence outcome not only depend on the teachers but also on their own efforts. To a good extent, there is also the parents of these students who guides at home and the Government who ensures good educational system for educators and students.

Faulting one set of character in all of this? It won't work that way but yeah, the teachers definitely have a big role to play just as the others have their own big roles to play.

Just as we have technicians, designers, doctors and other professions who are not so good with their job, we shouldn't miss it that there are also teachers who are not good at their job. Acknowledging that fact should help think of ways to train teachers so they can be better at their jobs than blaming them when students go rogue.

Being a student before and a serving teacher at the moment, I've come across different kinds of teachers and students, the good and bad, the professionals and the novice or bad at teaching. It's not news that some people in the education sector are there for the pays like every other jobs and some are there for the love of it.

Let's also consider the fact that all students learn at different speed and efforts, it may be the fault of the teacher not to recognize that for her students in this aspect but then, only those who love their jobs as teachers want to do the extra and sadly, this is affecting the education system as there are some students who ends up doing poorly because they are forced to be like every other kids in how they study or learn.

In all this, should we really be finding who to fault or consider giving effective solutions to balance the responsibility on each set of characters in this aspect of the world (education)? I'll suggest solutions!

The teachers have a big role to play in the education system, teach and making sure the students are carried along in their teaching but will students get it if the teachers are not so grounded in what they teach? This calls for the Government and school heads intervention. What I'll give to recommend solution for this issue is,

  • Empowering educators.

It's only wise that teachers be given the right orientation of what their jobs require of them more than just teaching. Provide training and workshop for teachers, pair experienced teachers with newer teachers and the act of rewarding outstanding teachers regarding their performance, all these are good enough boost for them to want to be better at their jobs.

Organizing collaborative events like Teacher-Parent-Children conferences, inter-school events and even inviting other professionals from different sector of life will not only build a stronger environment for the teachers but also boost the morale of students to learn better.

Of course, these are the responsibilities of the government and school heads in anyway they can get it done. After all, it's for the leaders of tomorrow ultimately.

There would be no one to blame if teachers have the right orientation of their jobs, parents are aware of what they need to do at home, students know why they need or are being educated and the Government are very much involved in the process of creating great leaders of tomorrow.

Well, isn't this where all the fault lies? Only a few are doing the job for real. So if I am to conclude, everyone involved in the educational system is to be faulted when a child performs poorly in school.

You are right about this. But then on my own path I think the child has the most fault. For instance, we had a teacher who was teaching us two courses last semester and when it was time for exam. It was the two courses that we had the lowest mark. Now,if you take a look at it. Yes, the man doesn't really know how to explain properly in class but then he even gave us slides to practice on which was where his exams came out from. At the end of the day,some people in class passed both of the exams successfully. There is always a limit to what a parent and even a teacher can do. Most times, the issue lies more with the child and our educational system.

We said the same thing in different ways, everyone does have a role to play for a child to excell in studies.

technicians, designers, doctors

I see, I didn't see mircobiologists who aren't good oh here😶🌝

I key in with what you suggested honestly... Seminars and workshops and all what a view should really be organized and teachers made compulsory to attend even if it means giving them a day holiday for that because honestly they need it to know what exactly is the level of competence and dedication their profession means not just to the school but to the world at large

No need saying nice write up, it's always nice
Kudos my mentor

Lol it's even my bad to have added doctors, I know that's where the problem is now 😂

Yeah, it will help to a large extent in shaping the educational system!

Thanks my student 😌

I’ve met terrible to teachers and I’ve met very good ones.
But with the number of students in a class these days, it’s hard for a teacher to pay attention to everyone one of them. The best he can do is try to carry you all along but as a student, must you rely solely on a teacher? And as a parent, don’t you think you play a bigger role in your kids life than even the teacher?

But, some teachers need to be lashes cos they don’t even deserve to be teachers. Very terrible!

It will no good to solely rely on teachers as a student for excellence, the student efforts is required too.

Lol really terrible.

It requires a holistic view as you mentioned as many characters are involved in the scene including the students, teachers, parents, society and the government. Student performance lies on all these even though I'm not exonerating the teachers.

Thanks for sharing this awesome view of yours with us.

Yeah, I'm not doing that either. Thanks for stopping by.

I totally agree with you. When a child do poorly, everyone is to be blamed but blaming won’t solve the problem. I just hope this get solved in the future.

 yesterday  

It won't solve the problem at all, we keep hoping.

I like how you didn't blame the students at all. They're such angels, aren't they? 🙂

🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are very much in the blame but I'm not blaming anyone 😅

Well said. But we can't say that all the faults belong to the teachers because if the teachers try their best to make the students understand what they are teaching then it's the students right to focus and also try to understand and ask questions also. So to me the fault isn't for the teachers alone.

 yesterday  

Yeah, it's what I've said in many words hehe. Thanks for stopping by.
