Many people argue that in order to improve educational quality, high

school students are encouraged to make comments or even

criticism on their teachers. Other thinks it will lead to loss of respect and
discipline in the classroom. Discuss both views
People have different views about whether allowing students to evaluate
or criticize their teachers. While some argue that this two-way
communication in the class could result in disrespect and indiscipline, I
believe that this approach could make an improvement in the quality of
education systems.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why it can be argued that
students who are given permission to assess the teachers could lead to
the lack of respect and discipline in the classroom. Firstly, as young
students are immature, impulsive and inexperienced, they could
easily give negative words to teachers when it comes to controversial
issues. For instance, students could give a wrong answer for a Math
exercise, but insist that they are right, and this lack of knowledge could
make them lose tempered and criticize their teachers. Secondly, the
class may be in chaos due to massive numbers of comments. Opinions
can vary from students to students, and it is impossible for teachers to
find out the best way that satisfies all the students.
On the other hand, I believe that giving students the freedom in
expressing their thoughts and feelings to teachers could enhance the
quality of education. Perhaps the principal reason is that
this interaction could boost students’ critical thinking and
particularly ensure the level of comprehension. For example, the teachers
may teach too fast that students are not able to understand; in this case,
thanks to learners’ responses, teachers could adjust their speeds and
methods so that students could fully retain the knowledge. Another
reason is that this approach could improve teachers’ pedagogical skills.
Teachers who do not carefully prepare the content of lessons may
provide wrong information, and feedbacks of students could help them
find out their mistakes.
In conclusion, I would contend that encouraging students to judge their
teachers could lead to increased educational quality despite
the possibility of disrespectful and undisciplined attitudes among students.
