If teachers don't care, then students won't.

I totally agree. I really don't like teachers who aren't serious in teaching us. God thing about 90% of my teachers for these past years are good teachers who really do their best in making us understand the lesson.

Hi dear, I cannot fully agree with you. When we think of such things about a common mass, it cannot be always correct. There are a lot of teachers fully dedicated time for teaching and students. I personally know few of them. Also, I worked as a teacher for 2 years and more and got the best teacher award within this short period. It was my self desire to leave the profession, but I forced to do the same. The reason is there in your question itself. Now every field is motivated by business and teaching is also a part of business and for many, it is their life profession and they work in such a way. Also, the teachers are to face a lot of students daily with different natures and attitudes. Making them to an efficient student is not so easy matter and a dedicated and best teachers only can do the job. Many are in this field to earn money and most of the schools and colleges and such institutional are running ONLY for earning money. Their ultimate aim is to make money and not to provide EDUCATION. A few bad tempered student is good enough to spoil the entire class and such students are the nightmare to many teachers. Even the students have to play their role well and the teachers become real teachers and they are MAINLY motivating by the students only. In one way we all are teachers and the only difference is that we don't have a recognized or qualified certificate for teaching. So we cannot tell all teachers are with the same nature, there are a few dedicated ones and they have a lot to tell. I think if there any teacher here must have here to tell more on it. My 2 years of experience was really a landmark in my life and I like the profession of teaching but unfortunately I didn't teach many students, which even I like the profession. Happy New Year Thank-s

Teachers who teach in the government schools are considered as government servants. Recently, our government has imposed the yearly KPI program to evaluate the performance of the government servants. Because of this rule, the teaching life of the teachers will be tougher. Their teaching characters have improved very much. I just hope such KPI system can be imposed to the teachers to improve the teaching character at your place.

If you are to become a teacher then you should have a petion for what you are teaching if the students see you love it it well give them the drive to try. so i belive you are right. This is why we have so many kids not caring.

Yea now a days teaching has become completely a proffession no dedication is involved in this. So students are also not keen to study now a days. There is a need of taking strict action against those teachers. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

I'm fortunate that I had the best teachers who not only taught but also cared. I will never forget how they would go the extra mile to make the classroom situation conducive to learning. As a result, school had been enjoyable for me, that is, insofar as my favorite teachers are concerned. To my half-hearted teachers, well, I don't give them all the blame. Students will suffer most if they wait for the teacher to be enthusiastic so they would take their studies seriously. It's not just about the grade, it's about learning something that will be of practical help at the end of the school day. :)

That is quite correct... Bad teachers can easily put a stop on eagerness of even most persistent student. Can't say opposite it true though... I've been in many educational systems, and would like to say this system also plays its part. It not only makes teachers uncaring, also students get used to learn by rot (and then forget it). Why, I've seen people who score high in subject they have zero knowledge about.. Even books written are mere copy paste jobs with lot of spelling and grammar mistakes! I hope that wasn't off topic! My experience here: I liked one of my teacher for his caring attitude. He was so dynamic but either his subject was really bore or he couldn't figure what to make of it (He had quite a knowledge, in case you wonder).. I knew I can never excel in the subject but I liked the teacher nonetheless. Subject too.

hi. i don't mean to argue you with you, but i have to say i can't agree with you on this topic. i'm a college teacher myself, and ever since i entered into teaching, i've been putting great efforts and energy into teaching, caring about each student and encouraging each in his or her studies. most of my colleagues around me are dedicated as well. people usually tend to put blame on teachers rather than on students themselves, though most of the time it's students' fault. i admit there are some irresponsible teachers whose chief priority is making money while paying little attention to students'studies. but they are just a small proportion. most teachers are devoted.

Yeah, I think so many typical of teacher. Sometimes, some teacher wants their student study by your self with read a book and the teacher only give some exercise. The want their student can be more independents. So, about the teacher is depent on their methods, teach their student. Happy new year and happy lotting :D

i do believe that the education of our children has to begin with a teacher. if a teacher gives up, it won;t be long before the student does too. Encouragement for educstion begins and end with the teacher who will pass it on along the way.

I agree. I have seen some teachers that are like that. i don't even get why they chose to teach if they're not going to be serious about it. It really has a bad effect on students if they see their teacher doesn't care too much, I hope teachers like that are replaced..

I couldn't agree with you more. I am an instructor and i teach adults and the most common requirements in this kind of job that i am in is the passion that the teacher put into her teachings. The student can definitely feel whether they are well taken care of or whether the teacher really is concerned about their studies or not. A teaching profession is a calling that needs a lot of passion not concerning too much about the money but caring how we share our knowledge to our students. We can feel satisfaction only when we see our students succeed!

I completely agree with you there. I don't respect teachers who treat students like numbers. And then there are some teachers who just wants to make the students suffer and they love bragging about it. Teachers are supposed to make better men and women out of their students. But since they don't care and some even want to make them suffer, the students end up losing their future. And to think we pay a lot of money for these kind of teachers.

hi, i agree on that megamatt, teachers today are different from teachers before, they are always absent, and dont really care for their students, and it will really affect their study.

I do have to somewhat agree that sometimes it is difficult to get interested in a course, when you don't really like the teacher to begin with, or the teacher does not care. But at the same time, if a student really want to succeed, then the teacher won't really matter. I have had my share of teachers I didn't like. I still made it to university.

I do agree with you on this one. There seems to be many teachers that just don't seem to be that interested in teaching or what they teach. It seems that they are just interested in getting home and having there money from teaching, yet with very little effort put in. Yes i would say that there are some students who want to mess around and don't want to be taught but others do, this does not mean that teachers should drop there standards to the levels of the students who just don't care. The teachers need to make things more fun and interesting so that students pay attention and actually learn.

A lot of teachers now are not that dedicated to what they pledge for. They must be a model for students. I'm still a student now, and I observed that very few are really dedicated to teach us what we have to learn. Most of them, wants to revenge from their student life and experience. Some are money making teachers who don't even mind what the heck are they doing in school. Many people now, thinks of study as a diploma only but not the lesson itself. They are after the title they will get afterwards, just because the teachers taught them. I hope this kind of drama must be modify.

this is very much true. It also has to do with the students prefrence. I had 2 teachers in Maths and History that didnt care very much at all. I hated maths but knew I had to do good in it, and I love History. I took History seriously and taught myself and ended up getting an A* but in Maths I got a B even though I was predicted an A*. Teachers make all the diffrence
