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 the Ratemyteacher.com. In this advanced world, everything is easy and it is going to 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 a comment gets worse; they affect a teacher’s health and career too. According to the article ‘US schools seek teachers’ (2001) there is shortage of schoolteachers in the United States as well as in England (para. 1). This kinds of website is rates teachers’ work out of five and grade 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. The government should be involved in solving this problem. School should take part in solving this problem. Parents should take more interest in this problem and do something to solve this problem. This could solve the problem.
First, government should get involved in solving this problem. Government is the higher authority. Government has all the authority to set any rule in favor of people or not in favor of people. They can do anything in favor of us. If they will start thinking very seriously about the problem, the teacher will get some help from the government. Government has responsibility of to protect someone’s dignity and especially that of teachers. Who gives us knowledge? Who teaches us how to be stable in this competitive world? Who teaches us how to behave in society? Who teaches us how to become good a civilian? It is not anyone but the teacher. If government makes a rule that no one can expose any school name or teacher name there would be possibility to expose someone’s name. Government can make a penalty for those who write bad comments against their teachers, which are not true. Government should take money as a penalty from the students who write bad things against their school, or it can take some legal step against some pupils to expose their teachers’ names publicly in a bad way. The government should be strict with the students who do bad things to teachers and capture their videos or pictures and put them online. There should be a strict punishment, if they really harm someone and force someone to commit suicide because sometimes a teacher could not bear it, so they commit a suicide. If the students go beyond their limit and don’t listening anyone, they should send in jail. If there will some compulsion from government, so students will think ten times before they write bad comments or to take someone name in public. Government should set rule that no one can use cell phone in the class. If they set this rule, students cannot take their teacher’s pictures or videos to humiliate them in public. If students do not follow this rule, they should be punished. In any way they should be restricted to use the cell phone. 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 some ways to solve this problem.
Second, schools should take part in solving this problem. School is a second home for students because they spent more time in their school. School is the places where students take knowledge of many subjects, learn good things and build their career. School should make a council for teachers. The council should be made of teachers. These teachers should be motivated. In this council not only would the teachers be there but also a principal could be there. This council will help teachers for understanding the particular situation and how to react in the situation. It will help the teacher, when they have some serious problem. Sometimes teachers are badly humiliated and they have to lose their job. They will face psychological problems too. So if this kind of council is there in each school, it will be helpful to each teacher and also make them prepared to face this kind of problem. 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. School can arrange the workshop for teachers in alternate months, so it will make them be refreshed. School 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. School can kicked out any student if they don’t behave well and they became violent. School has legal authority to kick out any student and it can give them legal notice, for example, that no other school can give them admission. If school starts doing this seriously students will think more about harming someone’s pride. If students rate their teacher, it
means they know everything. If they know everything then why should they come to learn to school? Students should know that teachers know more than them; that’s why they are there, to teach us and make us stable in society. So students should know their limit. If some students can’t behave properly, schools have a problem with them. So schools should call their parents and let them know about their children.
Third, parents should take more interest in this problem and do something to solve this problem. In this today’s world everyone is running behind money. So no one has time for anyone, and parents don’t have time for their children. It is parent’s responsibility of their child, how they are in society. It is their job to make them capable and teach them right way to live their life. 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 about them, so they know how to tackle their children, where they have to be very strict with their children and how they make them understand in a better way. They can have a talk together about what they do the whole day and parents should know about their children. Parents should have their eyes on their children while they access the Internet. While they access the Internet, parents should know what they are accessing and whether it is good for them or not. Some parents don’t know what their child is doing. They are not interested in their children; they have only interest in making money. These children are not getting the love of their parents. So they will not be happy with anyone, and they always insult everyone, and will not talk in a good way. So they can come to the parents and discuss their problem and be relaxed with their parents. Some children are not very close to their parents, because they think that they do not understand them and they are doing their own work. Sometimes this student is facing this problem at their home, so they are frustrated at someone, and if they get this kind of web site, which allows them to do whatever they want they do bad things to everyone. Parents also help the teachers who are humiliated. Some of the teachers have their union, so they can also take part of these union activities and encourage the students.
My opponent says that, some teachers are not teaching in a proper way and they do not think for students. However, although this is true every teacher has a different style of teaching, so it is possible that some students understand perticular style and teaching. Sometimes students don’t give attention to the class. So they don’t know about what the teacher is teaching. Some students have the problem that they always find fault in everything. That’s why they always tell bad things and try to pull the teacher’s leg. For example, there are some students that have bad peers, so they always take them in bad activity and they are not interested in working in class, studying in class or giving attention to class. In my class, there were some students who always pulled each other’s leg, did not study and always found fault with teachers. They were doing that because they had bad peers.
In conclusion, there is equal responsibility of parents, school and government to stop violence against teachers with this kind of web sites. This
web site has also its 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. All should know how to behave with others especially with the teachers. So it will help this problem to some degree.
