Should Students be Able to Grade Teachers

Should Students be Able to Grade their Teachers?

Yes: Yes, I believe students should be able to grade teachers because it allows both the student and the teacher to learn and grow and adapt. The teacher recieves feedback from the student, and the student as a result, gains respect for the teacher for taking time to incorporate new ways of learning. Just like teachers, students can also spot areas of improvement, such as advising teacher to be more specific when teaching or giving students more time to write down notes. This allows the teacher to adjust their teaching method accordingly and allows students to improve and get better. 

No: No, I believe students should not be able to grade teachers. This is because some students might end up only criticizing the teacher out of spite or because they just don't like them. Teachers as a result can have their feelings hurt and feel like they didn't help the student succeed academically. This as a result makes the teacher seem like a bad teacher and it runs the risk of the teacher getting fired for something they didn't do. All because one student hated the teacher.

My view: I believe students should not be able to grade teachers. That being said, I believe students should be able to talk about what they learned in class overall. This allows people to think about how the teacher in general is helping the student without the student being outright spiteful and trying to get the teacher fired. If a student were to directly grade a teacher, they could have horrible motives and try to get an amazing teacher fired just because the student wasn't a good student.
