Teaching is an art. Not everyone is cut out in this area.
Been able to impart knowledge in the way and manner that generate desirable
response from students is an amazing skill. However, in spite of some teachers
best effort students feel less satisfied with their teaching. The following are prominent
complaints students have against teachers:
1.
The teacher is too harsh: a lot of students
mistake a teacher’s discipline and insistence on good moral behavior to
harshness. They hate teachers that flog or melts out punishment on students. A
word of advice for the teacher: if at all you have to instill discipline, do so
with love. Avoid projecting an image of harshness. In fact, draw close to your
students.
2.
The class is boring: some students dislike
teachers whose class is not very motivating or rather dry. Also, when the
teacher’s voice is low or inaudible, students tend to strain their ears to
listen. This way discouragement soon makes them to tune out from the teaching,
before long they are overtaken by sleep.
3.
The teacher is inconsistent: some students do
not understand their teacher. When they are punished, they feel the teacher
hates them. When they perform poorly in test, they blame the teacher.
