Why teacher nowadays no longer wants to give their best in school.?

Question

If they give they best there no way they can earn additional income

Answer 1

Hi,

I guess you're talking from personal experience, since you've worded it pretty strongly.

Well, there are many reasons why this happens.

1. Number of students in a class has increased - Previously, there were smaller classes, with 10 or 15 students. The teacher could build a rapport with them, and understand the needs of each child. Today, with over 45 in each class, it's really difficult. Thus they possibly just come, teach and leave, limiting their interactions to asking questions once in a while, so as to not show favoritism for any pupil.

2. Staff Meetings, Syllabus reviews and daily assessments - Teachers nowadays have to share how they will teach their subject with the principal. Some schools also insist that teachers sit on daily assessments and explain what they will be teaching the next day. This robs the spontaneity of teaching, and makes it a job list to be finished.

3. Rules for teachers - Schools now have too many rules. And increasingly more for the teachers than the students. Parents now don't like their children to be taken to task, or asked to explain their behavior, and believe that teachers have no rights over their students. Therefore teachers have to tread carefully where they would have otherwise freely voiced their opinion or reprimanded the student for their behavior.

4. Low salaries - Teaching is perhaps the lowest paying profession in India. With inflation and higher standards of living, it possibly is not realistic to expect teachers to survive and bring up a family on their teacher's salary alone. Thus many do opt to take tuition's. But if it is not at the cost of the students at school, it's alright. Also, those who would have made good teachers have now more alternatives to earn more money.

5. Less respect - Teachers today are not regarded with much respect, With mediums like the Internet, the student feels that he knows more than the teacher. And with affluence spreading in the society, parents feel that standards abroad are much better than they were today. Thus the standing of teachers has gone down.

6. Having said all this, there are many teachers out there who are just plain terrible at their job, or who don't teach properly so that they can take tuitions after class. But for the sake of those teachers who are still fighting the system and instilling values in students, we must still have hope.

Answer 2

You're mistaken, teachers want to give their best but the students themselves are not serious with their studies or better yet they are not in the same level. What happen is the teacher is always at fault when in fact the students are not well equipped with the needed skill for that particular task. The result is oftentimes the teacher re-teach the needed lesson before they can really proceed with their real lesson for that day. Students retain what they learned for a particular event only example is : exam day but after a week or two they are forgotten. They do not sink in. But if a teacher finds a good student they will be friends forever even after the class because the teacher will surely like to offer his help to that deserving student.

Answer 3

It's true about getting burnt out with the students who don't want to do anything.

Another factor is that the rule book has swung very far left.
Teachers have to watch everything they say and do. Teachers are restricted from speaking their personal view on almost everything. They're disciplinary action is so restricted that the effectiveness is lacking.

A teacher can be disciplined for saying the slightest thing now. A teacher can be disciplined for the wrong look or making a student feel a certain way.

I say it is very much leftist because disciplinary action is so restricted and teachers have to be so touchy feely with students that it becomes very much draining.

Answer 4

The way I see it is if you are not appreciated after so many years of little pay and parents screaming at you about their children and the children not doing as you ask them to do. Then you also have the officials asking you what is going on in that room of yours. Then the C. P. A. breathing down your neck because of other teachers that have done things that you would never even think of doing. Gee I wonder. Why is it that good teachers can't do their job. By the way no I am not a teacher I am a parent.

teenagers can learn throughout summer season smash. I actual have 4 teenagers; on our holiday we went right into a cave, visited countless museums and a planetarium. Then we did countless motorbike-using journeys, we went to countless gala's, observed some bands, and so on. That stuff isn't basically exciting, it rather is educational. My oldest (7) who can study comprehensive approximately 15 books over the summer season. The lengthening of the college twelve months for rather everyone probable does not help many teenagers out lots with the aid of regulation of diminishing returns. for this reason the custom of a three-month summer season holiday. Plus it may conceivably jack up everyones sources taxes, yet that may not being stated, of direction. this may be a payoff of the instructor's union which would be blamed a great deal for the present undesirable state of the yank public colleges.

Answer 6

Under all organized labor, unions, there is no way to give one participating member who holds any job, to receive an increase in wages, without every other member receiving equal compensation/increases.

The comparable rate of wages would be increased at all skill levels to those members of the same union.

At the same time no member's wages could be cut. And, under most unions, it's nearly impossible to release a member from their job. A member has to commit very serious rule infractions to be released.

A strike by the teacher's union is always devastating and avoided at all costs.

A diploma entitles a teacher to be hired, regardless of their skill levels compared to others. No standardized tests are required.

Just the way it is!

Answer 7

I'm sure it is the intention of every school teacher to give thier best........however classroom size has increased and I know for a fact some are quite simply overworked and stretched to thier limits. They're exhausted.........is difficult for anyone to give thier best when faced with this situation and no end in sight. On the other side of the coin.........some teachers still prevail and find ways to accomodate and deal with an oversize classroom and all that it entails.

Answer 8

Teachers USED to give their best because those who were teachers WANTED to teach. Nowadays teachers go into the business to get summers off and have relatively easy not demanding jobs. The just are not dedicated to teaching. In my opinion MOST teachers really can't do any better than they do, the are just slugs, overpaid babysitters without much ambition or intelligenge.

Answer 9

not all are in the business for the money; I taught for 30 years and have a specialist degree (between masters and doctorate); with that much schooling and time I could have gone into most any other profession and made a lot more money; for me, it was and is about the kids and what they need!!

My wife's mother was a school teacher for 23 years. She said everything went down-the-drain when they introduced busing to the schools. The african-american children come to school, no books, no pencils,no paper. They "lost their books" followed by much snickering and laughter. They don't want to learn (don't want to be "too white"), they drop out as soon as they can, and simply BELIEVE they are all going to be athletes and entertainers. Teachers are NOT ALLOWED to say anything to them (labeled racist), so the teachers give up and simply go thru the motions to get a paycheck.
