Unjust to Students

One thing that is not entertaining is when people seem to just try to be annoying, or mean, or they just try to be stubborn. I will be discussing something that is not entertaining today. I can do that because the topic of my blog is Entertainment, so something that is not entertaining, but rather the opposite of entertaining, is open to me to be able to write about and discuss. So here goes.

Some teachers are notorious for doing this. It seems as if they are just trying to get on the students bad side, just trying to go out of their way in order to make the student do bad or fail either the class or the assignment. Sometimes, teachers do not mean to do this and it just seems that they are doing so, from the student’s point of view that is. However, some teachers, it seems, just try to do it on purpose. I know not why or how or the reasoning of the teachers that employ that thinking, and I do not understand why they do so, I only know that some teachers do. Here are some examples as to how some teachers employ some decisions, with the result of students feeling the way that I described.

One way that teachers make students to feel as though they are trying to be mean and fail the students is if the teachers change their grading ways randomly. For example, if the class is a two semester class, then the teacher may change the way that he or she grades various things, such as assignments. If, during the first semester, the teacher goes about that type of specific assignment or activity in such a manner that a certain effort would get an A grade, then it would be reasonable for the students to expect to have that certain effort to be what they strive to earn in order to get an A. However, if the teacher then decides to change the way that they grade the assignment or activity so that that certain effort gets you a C or D instead, that seems unfair to the student as it seems as if the teacher is just setting them up for failure.
