To evaluate teachers by students

Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Nowadays many schools ask students to evaluate and criticize their teachers to improve the quality of education. Personally, I disagree with the statement because it is not objectiveness. Besides, such management will affect the quality of country's education in the end. My reasons are as follows.

First of all, if students are asked to perform the task of evaluation, backward students may attribute their poor performances to the incompetence of their teachers. They may shirk their responsibility for studying and blame for teachers. Nowadays it is common phenomenon that many teachers left their teaching jobs because of loss of motivation due to unfair commence from certain students. The evaluation system makes teachers loss of authority, especially those who misbehave in an intolerable way, who make teachers feel humiliate and incapable of maintaining the classroom order.

In addition, if students are asked to assess teachers, they may adopt a biased attitude towards some teachers and give negative comments on them. For example, a student given a fail grade due to poor performance in class or in exams and the student may hate his teacher and therefore takes the assessment to revenge himself on the teacher by giving him under-served negative comments. Currently in many schools, some teachers are worried about being revenged when it comes to evaluation. As a result, the assessment has led to a bad phenomenon among teachers, who will make every effort to win students' favor. Thus, teachers no longer devote themselves to teaching. From a perspective, this will definitely deteriorate the quality of a country's education.

In conclusion, asking students to evaluate and criticize teachers is definitely not an appropriate method of school management. It not only disturbs teachers and classroom order but also affects the quality of education.It is eventually inimical to a country's competitiveness.
