U-BLOG 5 WHO NEEDS TEACHERS?
This is a very interesting question. It can stir up a really good debate.... I think we need teachers because they push students to learn and find information. Plus they do to many of the little things that people take for granted like organize materials, design objectives, grade assignments, plan lessons, answer questions, and etc. Without teachers I believe many people would waste a lot of time with non sense. The only thing I don't agree with when it comes to education are school system curriculum's. The cirriculum's that make students take ridiculous classes that don't benefit your career like Gym for example. Why is that a class? So its not the teachers it is the material we learn and how it is presented. The people who say teachers are not needed are the individuals that really really hate doing homework.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you that teachers are needed, and that at times yes there are certainly things that we learn that pretty much have no value to us in our e mediate future (2-5 years). Yet i also think that some teachers can be slack at times or just plain don't care anymore. Teachers are very important but i think we need to get rid of the ones that definitely don't perform or better yet provide an incentive for them to do there job, cause obviously caring for the student doesn't measure up anymore...
Even if we don't have a teacher actively teaching a course, you still need someone to create the materials and to provide feedback to the students...
