Activity:
Teacher tells her students: "It is you who make your grades. I just record them. Don't blame anybody else if you don't make good grades." Do you agree? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
I agree, it is true that we are the one whose making our own grades. Teachers role is to impart knowledge, help student enhance and develop their skills and most important is they added to the growth of the student. Student are those who are applying the knowledge, execute performance and knowing their weaknesses and strength. Their grades is based on their performance in the classroom and the results of their assessments and activities.
When it comes to giving grades some teachers are "madamot" (stingy). Others are over generous. How can these be avoided?
I have encountered this kind of teacher which is madamot(stingy) when it comes to giving grades. It gave me a lot of stress and did not accept the fact that my grades is below of what I have expected though I did not do anything but to accept it no matter what because its already done. But, this kind of teacher should not be tolerated and stop doing it because it really hurt if the student really did their best but at the end of the day your grades is not what you expected. The best thing that you can do to address this issue is to communicate in an appropriate and in a positive way. It is important for student to receive the accurate grades and just, because they know what and how they acted and performed in the classroom.
Teacher A claims: "The problem with the Parent - Teacher Conferences is those parents who are most expected to come, i.e. the parents of non-performing students, usually do not attend." How can schools solve the problem? propose solutions.
For me, i think the best solution to this problem is to home visit because maybe the parents is struggling to manage their time for their to attend in the parent-teacher Conferences. You can also see and know the main problem why they are nit attending and at the same you can easily come up with the solution.
