Who is to be blamed on the Academic Performance, TEACHER or STUDENTS?

While you have had the question as to who is responsible partially answered (parents are a factor as well) in order to advise you on how to have success with your students I would need to know their ages. What grade level do you teach?

Both have responsibilities. Teachers must make sure to provide a good education to their students. STudents on the other hand, must give their best to learn. It is a shared relationship.

A lot of the responsibility lies on the teacher's shoulders. When students do not perform well, the majority of teachers tend to blame the students. These teachers should actually look deep into human nature, because teaching should be approached in a holistic manner, instead of strictly following what is found in the official teaching guidelines. As a former teacher I had seen cases of teachers' failure being thrown at the students. There is a saying in my religion, that children are like a piece of white cloth. It is the parents who colour them. Taking the analogy further we can say that it is the teacher who determines his/her students' academic performance. I do not want to glorify the successes I had with the academically weak, and problematic students. Instead I would like to recommend you two films, 'To Sir With Love', and "Freedom Writers'. The latter is based on a true story. The basic point in both films is the importance of teachers approaching the inner side of their students. Students are not machines produced in the same factory. There is another story that I read years ago in the Readers' Digest, about a Mathematics teacher who turned his D class students into A star performers in mathematics. He used an unconventional method to achieve success with his students. Before someone says I am only blaming the teachers, I do realise that there are other factors which need to te addressed. Most of these factors are related to the individual. That is where the importance of knowing our students come to the fore.

I teach maths and physics in an institute. For teachers, I only have one advice. make your students familiar with what kind of questions they are getting at the exam and they should do well on exam. Because most of the time the students understand the topic but not be able to do well on the exam. Maybe you could explain more on the questions you're going to include in exam. Hope i helped.

I'm not a teacher, but part of my work is to train newly hired employees for the job. The difference between you and me is that all my "students" were scrutinize and passed all the necessary tests. In short they're the elite ones, the best. I think one very good trait of a teacher is being "compassionate". its not just doing your lessons and teach them what was written on the books, but sometimes its takes compassion to make them learn and study harder. Just a taught. I really admire teachers as they lay the foundation of our society. Bad thing is that in our country they the once who are underpaid. Good luck on your teaching carrier.
