教育：有什么老师知道的事是让学生后怕的

What do teachers know that would scare their students?Natalie Ayambem, Math Faculty (2014-present)Answered Nov 27 · Upvoted by Daniel Kaplan, Veteran high school English teacherContinue ReadingWhat do teachers know that the average US college student would be scared to know?Dear student, please pull up a chair as I would actually love for you to know:That even though you ask for that extension on a missed test, you’re more than likely still not going to do well. Okay, let’s be frank…you made up a great excuse for missing the test, but you’re still going to fail for not having prepared. The “extra” week or even two only delays the inevitable, and now you’re even more behind because the class still progressed after the test date.Even though you never miss class and are soothed to believe “I attended class therefore I’ll be ok” is incredibly misleading: your sitting in class playing on your phone, watching videos on your laptop or just doing nothing equates with being absent. Seriously, students— either participate and engage or save yourself the time and expense of a class.That study guide or practice test that you adore and ask for every class and every test—is useless if you don’t understand the material. Really. I kid you not - but neither a study guide nor a practice test will ever replace the engaged hours required in class in addition to the work that’s assigned outside of class to practice and master the skill taught to successfully pass the test.Oh there’s more (like, really, we can tell even without seeing you cheat during the exam when we grade it that you actually cheated…it’s not rocket science)…suffice it to say:Students, please (1) show up-always, (2) be ready to learn and (3) do what’s asked of you. It’s just that simple.
