I can never get over the things that students will say about their teachers while they’re away.
- “We never learn anything in this class.”
- “S/he is so easy.”
- “Too strict!”
- “S/he doesn’t care about us.”
Rapport is a constant work-in-progress, so I refuse to validate these statements (or condemn those teachers) when students make them.
Yet I can’t help wondering what my students say about me. Some might say that it doesn’t matter what students think about their courses, but I expect my students to recognize the work I put into their lessons. I have told them that.
What do you think students say about you? What would you have them say?
