It is fairly hard to evaluate someone, yet to be evaluated by someone else is uncomparably stressful. The unbearable stress, which comes from being judged by the strict rule of the others, is not merely harsh for the adults who teach the kids but also comparably harsh for the kids who need to be taught. However, while the teachers are entirely free from any outward evaluations, the students hardly avoid to being graded by the teachers.
The lecture barely trusts the reliability of the evaluation which is made by the students, since they do not have sufficient ability to distinguish their biased emotion toward the teachers from their unbiased judgement. It also gives skeptical look on the assertion that the students are a kind of the consumers at the market, who have rights to judge the quality of products they consume. Moreover, while the reading supports the necessity of the evaluation for encouraging the teachers to provide higher quality of education, the lecture simply ignores the value of this evaluation since the teachers also have rights not to be bothered in their way of teaching.
Education is not a one-way insertion, but it is close to mutual communication. Through the communication, not only among the students but between the teachers and the students, much more developed and creative ideas can be brought out. How the teachers can suggest the possibility of acceptable compromise from both sides, while not embracing the evaluation thier pupils made? Even admitting that the education is an extraordinary realm, where cannot be conquered by the logic of commercialism in ease, merely avoiding to be graded is much more childish than their pupils' attitude. |
