It is controversial that teachers should explain how they think social or political issues to students in the classroom. Some people agree with this comment becasue students can learn how to see social or political issues. However, others say that it is not good for students to expalin social or political issue because of a few reasons. By advocating the later, I can mention why I think that with a few foundations.
First, students can have stereotype or prejudice toward any social or political issue regardless of their thinkings. Students do not have well-bulit thinking structure so that it is easy to have stereotype or prejudice about issues which they do not know well. To students, social or political issues are difficult topics. Because students donot have enough experiences related to social or political issues, they do not have specific opinions about those issues. Moreover, they tend to follow and respect their teachers, it might be easy to believe the words of their teachers. If teachers express their thinkings about social or political issues, students may believe the sayings of teachers without judgement, whether their opinions are right or wrong.
Second, all teachers do not have professional opinions about social or political issues. It is so dangerous that students may be vulunary in terms of obtaning of wrong information. In my country, there are strange political advocators who have prejudice, called area color. When a candidate of a president was from western area, people who come from western area tend to vote them without considering their political color or theme. If teachers do not have professional knowlege toward political issues, it is possible for them to convey their words based on area color. Moreover, teachers who teach mathmatics or science do not have professional knowledge about social or political topics so that students can not learn how to see these issues and how to think objectively.
In conclusion, when it comes to the formation of stereotype and the lack of professional knowledge, I disagree with that teachers should express their social or political views to student in the classroom. Students are focused on learning the facts and truth of any subjects from teachers having professional knowledge.
