During the Deliberation
Towards the end of a school year, I usually hear some teachers discussing their students' levels and grades during the deliberation. Whenever I attend the latter, I always feel I can not stand the manner some teachers describe the level of some poor students. What I can not accept is when a teacher says that some of his students are stupid, communicatively handicapped, and slow on the uptake. Therefore, they add that the students in question do not deserve success at all and that what they deserve is dropping out of school. This is not mature and professional of this sort of teachers, I complain. Some others go on to burst into laughter when they hear names of their students. Here, they start to reveal the defects of some of their students. To my dismay, some others describe students as mere donkeys and good for nothing, for the latter have never raised their hands in class. As I hear all these so-called complaints and many more from teachers, I wonder whether or not these teacher have inevitably gone through the same experiences during their school days. Even if not all of them have, they must experience the same outside the class. They must be understanding and they have to bear in mind that they were once students. On the contrary, they should provide remedies instead of uttering silly complaints. My message to these teachers is that they must take enough precautions when they dare to speak ill of their students, particularly that many of the greatest of geniuses of the whole world too were once 'stupid', 'communicatively handicapped', and 'slow on the uptake'.
