It is true that sometimes teachers get very easily angry, but the truth is that these days there are always good reasons to make them furious: fake students, fake exams, cheaters, lack of solidarity, governments that don't care at all about educational matters, ghost students....

In class, we usually respect the teachers. but sometimes some students lost the respect to their teachers and start to don't pay attention in class and sometimes they cheat on exams or don't go to their classes. At this Covid-19 crisis, the teachers dont see the students and can't control them in their own class, so some of them let the class running and go away to do other things like watch tv or use the phone.
ResponderEliminarIn this times, i think teachers have more work than usually, because they have to correct everything that the students do.
Daniel del Pozo Quesada 4º ESO A
Being a teacher is very difficult, especially in secondary school because most of the students have no respect for them, nor for their classmates.
ResponderEliminarTeachers get mad very quickly but before they have fooled a lot of nonsense.
There are two different types of students, there are those who go to study, who do not bother, who listen and pay attention, and then there are those who go because they are forced by their parents, they do not want to study, they talk and they bother in class. It is logical that the teachers get angry, since they want to give class, move forward, and because of all the students it is possible to teach, and this affects especially the other students who if they want to study and do a career and have a future .
The teachers want us to be something in life, that we prosper, and they get angry when they cannot give what they came to give, and above all, the students who do not respect them and speak ill to them as if they were their lifelong friends.
Now with quarantine it is more difficult to teach, and also teachers want to trust us and give us the opportunity to pass and continue, but most students take advantage of that trust and do things that they do not have to do. We believe that teachers are stupid and do not know when you copy or do things that you have not known how to do now. One does not learn so fast and the worst thing is that we want to deceive ourselves.
We must always go with the truth in this life, because the lies are usually discovered, and above all try not to deceive ourselves, be responsible and honest.
Be a good student? Or be a bad student? What are we? Since my first year, I am trying to be a good student. But sometimes I was a bad student. I think that I am an ordinary student, I usually have good marks even though I sometimes have failed.
ResponderEliminarWhen I said bad student, I didn’t mean to go against the teachers or classmates. This is rude. About be a bad student, I mean to be a fake student. You have passed the exam, you have sent the homework, bout you cheated. Let me tell you, dear friend, you are not learning anything. And in the future, you will be in serious problems.
I think that bad student will be a master in the subject of the cheat. Sometimes I see how other students cheat even the teacher does not look at them. Also, I see how the teacher catches them, too. To err is human; to change, divine.
This is the first time we live a world pandemic, so at the begining, no one knew how to act. Public health was crowded, polcemans were full of work and students had a lot of homework. Nowadays, we have learned how to control this situation, so we are calmer now.
ResponderEliminarIn my situation, I´m a students, and teachers didn´t really know how to act, so they sent a lot of homework, and we had to spend all the day working. And if for any reason you couldn´t do them or you forget them, they argued with you. With the pass of the weeks, they have learned what is our limit, and they have sent less and less homework, so we are fine now and we can relax some hours.
Being a student in this situation is really hard, you don´t really know what is going to happen on the next school year, and you have to get used to the ways the teachers want you to do the homework, but they have to do it too, so we should be more comprehensive with them, everyone is overwhelmed with this situation, and some times, they can explode and get angry.
Some problem teachers have noticed this weeks is that we don´t always do our homeworks alone, I mean, sometimes I asked a friend the homeworks if I was late or if i didn´t know how to do them, but I think this isn´t that bad. The problem is when you always ask others the homeworks, so when you come to an exam, you can´t do anything.
Some teachers got mad, when some of us cheated in the exams, but I think that both attitudes are undertandable, the student wants to pass the subject, and he found a nice way to do it, and the teacher wants the student to learn, and he feels disappointed when this student cheat.
I think cheating is bad, but in the times we are living, it´s really hard to discover this cheaters.

Teachers are very easy to get angry for several simple reasons. Students often disrespect the teacher. Teachers do not have an easy job because some children misbehave in class.

ResponderEliminarThe teachers are people that are part of our life. Since we were little we always had a teacher who taught us to read, write, behave, etc. Every year they taught us new things, add, subtract, ... in mathematics, in natural the human body, plants, animals, ... in geography, maps, climate, ... in history to pass contests, prehistory... They are our educators together with our parents as we spend many hours with them. there are better teachers than others, I always remember my primary teacher Inés, because I was 3 years with her and it was wonderful.
