Teachers To be SACKED over Students Failure? Why sack teachers?
Teachers To be SACKED over The Failure of Their Students? Why sack teachers? I don’t get it…
Are teachers being crucified for the lazy students who are doing everything to fail?
People are of the view that teachers must be held responsible for the failure of their students.
Teachers are considered the agents in the knowledge acquiring and transfer process.
Teachers are the custodians and repositories of knowledge. But the question is, must they be held responsible for the failure of students?.
The success or failure of a student can be explained by hereditary factors.
According to Professor George Mogoha and some Ghanaians scholars, Africans are fond of inheriting either patrilineally or matrilineally, hence their children may inherit their intelligence. This means parents who perform poorly in school may have their children doing the same. This strongly means Genotypically if your parent are ‘morons’, you may turn out to be one.
The bitter truth is that most parents have neglected their responsibility of nurturing children to become responsible citizens. Parents go to work early in the morning and come back home late in the evening.
It has been stated time and again that, teachers do 30% of the work while students must execute 70% of the work. If this assertion is still valid, it makes no logical sense to assume that a teacher deserves to be fired for a student’s failure to sit, learn and pass exams.
If teachers are to be SACKED over the failure of their students, then those who employ them must also be questioned about their decisions to hire the teacher.
Students who fail must also be questioned, especially when other learners in the class pass the same examination that the student failed.
If we are to use teachers as scapegoats for student failure, we must equally pay them better remuneration, since the risk associated with their sacrifice would go under this proposed arrangement.
