1/28/2020 0 Comments "Good" Student?After going through the reading, being a “good” student is what society considerers children who attend the same education institution with teachers who will shape these students into being very similar. These students will have similar sets of beliefs and values. The “good” student is the one with a good work ethic, pays attention, asks and answers questions in class, and who is always willing the continue to learn. These “good” students are also the ones who produce quality work within standardize testing, reading, writing, and mathematics. They also have polite manners, listen to their teachers and behave appropriately in all situations. They are the children that display the information the teacher is looking for because they are the children that have been retaining the material taught.
Although, this may look fine and dandy, since the students may seem well behaved and taking in all the knowledge taught, not all students are like this. Just because other students in the classroom do not do well in some aspects stated above, it does not mean they are a “bad” student. It is the teachers job to encourage learning to all students. If the student is not interested in a subject area, it is still the teachers job to attend to all of the learners and personalities in the classroom. All children are unique, different and bring new aspects to the table for teachers to also learn from. Not every student in the classroom will listen, work quietly, finish their work correctly, or be polite student, because they are not COOKIE CUTTER students. We need to realize that no one student is the same. That means, we cannot teach one way and think it will get across to each student the same way. We must remember everyone learns differently, at different speeds and levels. It is hard to classify a “good” student, because it really doesn’t exist. Some people want students that share in class, but not too much. Or, some students are discouraged because they are doing well in language arts but not mathematics. Society is asking too much out of students. Let your students shine in their own ways, let your students excel in different aspects than other. It is the teachers job to see this and learn and work within.
