Teachers are our second parents

Who is the teacher? Students are forgetting the meaning of teacher because they don't have any manners. Students are misbehaving with them and they are always being rude with them. Although, they are not wrong all the time. I am talking about rate my teacher website. In this advanced world, everything is easy and it is going become easier. You can get each kind of information on the Internet. There are many things easy to do so as to humiliate someone. There are many sites to rate your teacher. Pupils capture videos of their teachers and post them online and write bad comments on them. Sometimes comments gets worse; they affect teacher’s health and careers too. According to the article ‘US schools seek teachers’ (2001) there is not availability of schoolteachers in the United States as well as in England (Para. 1). This kind website rates teacher’s work out of five and grades them. This problem is worldwide now. Many students grade their teacher. Government should stop these kinds of websites in some schools. They should take some steps against these websites, because teachers are being hurt from it. Schools should make some council to help the teachers. This could solve the problem.

First, government should be involved in solving this problem. Government is the higher authority. If government makes rule like no one can expose any school name or teacher name, there would be no possibility to expose someone’s name. Government can make a penalty for those write bad comments against their teachers, which are not true. It can take some legal step against some pupils who expose their teacher’s name publicly in a bad way. If there is some compulsion from government, students will think ten times before they write bad comments or take someone’s name in public. Government should set a rule that no one can use a cell phone in the class. In India there is this rule and students have to follow that; otherwise; they will be in trouble. So in this way government can help in someway to solve this problem.

Second, schools should take part in solving this problem. Schools should make councils for teachers. This council will help teachers understand the particular situation and how to react in the situation. The Council will help to encourage them and to boost them. School should play big role in solving this problem, because it is its duty to control the students and teach the students how to behave in civilized society. Schools should set some rules for students and they have to follow the rules. If they don’t, there should be some legal punishment for them, so pupils think more about doing any bad things and it will be solved to some degree.

Third, parents should take more interest in this problem and do something to solve this problem. They can do many things to solve this problem, because they can teach and take control of their children. They know their children better than anyone and they care of them, so they know how to tackle their children, where they have to be very strict to their children and how they make them understand in a better way. Parents should have eyes on their children while they access the Internet and talking with their children about their daily activity will make a difference. There should be more closeness with children and parents, so they can come to the parents, if they have some problem.

In conclusion, there is equal responsibility of government, school and parents to stop violence against teachers with this kind of web sites. This web site has also their social responsibility. If they all know their responsibility, there will be no violence against teachers. All should know their responsibility and should not cross the limit. So it will help this problem to some percentage.
