UNFAIR!
"
I can’t stand an unfair teacher! No doubt many students feel the same way too. I am upset when I get low grades for what I feel is high-grade work. I resent it when discipline seems excessive or uncalled for or seems motivated by racial bias. I am really angry when special attention or preferential treatment is given to the teacher’s pet. These are the students who always go near to the teacher’s table, talked to our teacher.
Granted, teachers are far from infallible. They have their fair share of quirks, problems and yes prejudices. “Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended”, says one proverb. Even teachers stumble many times. If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body. Could I therefore give my teacher the benefit of doubt?
I experienced to feel unfair to one of my subject teachers. I was really shocked when I knew was grade was 86, which was the lowest grade given by our teacher. I really felt puzzled because I have submitted all my projects on time. Do I deserve to get that very low grade? While the others submitted their projects late but given bigger grades because they are the teacher’s pet! My teacher blamed me because it was my fault that he didn’t see my project plan in his table. It was his responsibility to keep it because he told me to put it there. Soon I realized that we sometimes fail to accomplish their task because we are very busy.
What about those special favors accorded to the teacher’s pet? I should bear in mind that a teacher faces unique demands and pressures. He faces a serious predicament in which they must try to hold the attention of a class whose some minds are usually elsewhere…they have before him a group of highly moody students. Is it any wonder, then, that my teacher may lavish attention or treat him with respect? True, it may gall me when seeming ‘apple-polishers’ get more attention than I do. But why should in be upset or jealous if some diligent student is a teacher’s pet, as long as my educational need are not ignore? Besides, it may be a good idea to be a bit more true to my self.
We sometimes feel that our teacher is not fair to all of the students. But we should be bare in our minds that we should understand and thoughtful to them. They are also people, they need affection and to be loved. They are also one of us, let’s not put our minds that they are really unfair because they don’t. They want us to realize that we should be diligent, obedient, and attentive and be thoughtful in the class. We should cooperate with them and never think that they don’t love us because they do. We should respect them as our second parents and never behave distractible. Let’ love them and show to them that they are one of a kind. We too, should be fair!
