WHOSE FAULT IS IT? (2/2)

A constant dilemma that parents always are faced is whether their children are ineffective learners or the teachers inefficient gurus, or is the chemistry between the two just mismatched.

In today's article, we'll look into the side of the teachers.

Having to deal with children on a day to day basis itself is a huge task, let alone having to get loads of information into their heads. Teachers are faced with a unique task of getting the same information into different children, so they need to be able to come up with a method that somehow marginally caters to the educational needs of all students. This is a humongous task by itself no doubt.

A few errors that I've seen teachers do is focus on only one set of similar students and expect the rest of their class to follow them ditto in every way, so that by catering the needs of that one particular group, by virtue of the rest of the class following that groups habits and methods, the teaching would be flawless. The biggest flaw is that you can't force students to change, some will be good at sports, some will be mediocre at maths, etc. There is no set template that'll work for all given groups at all times.

Teachers will have to be creative and constantly keep adapting to how the class behaves as a social group. So rather than focus on one group, focus on various members of all groups, this would prove to be more beneficial from my thoughts.
