LEARNER ETHICS-2

 LEARNER ETHICS-2            

As a corollary to what has been said so far on the topic, learners must try to extricate from the ‘inattentive’ attitude in classrooms. Whatever be your preference about a teacher individual, kindly consider these facts.

1 The person [teacher] is senior to you in age and familiarity to the subject than what you presume to know.

2 That some teachers are prone to get distracted by student behaviour through a session of teaching. is not  an unconditional license for children/boys  to distract the teacher.

3 There are teachers who can handle such unruly members by the scruffs of their necks and spell doom; would you dare trying your pranks with them. Is it not cowardice to challenge the timid?

4 There could be several reasons for ineffective performance of a teacher. As a teacher I feel, distractions from learners is a dominant determinant.

5 To make you perceive the gravity of the issue please introspect

   A] Can you keep your classmates in place and deliver a topic? After all they are your peers and are more obliged to tow your line by sheer familiarity of friendship.

B] Can you safely assume that your intimate friends would not ‘intimidate’ you when you take the role of a teacher? They would be too glad to make the best of the occasion to unnerve you.

C] What safeguards would keep you shielded from such ‘disturbing trends’?

All the preceding facets are under the common umbrella of human relations. When a learner chooses to throw scant concern for a person’s earnest efforts to ‘communicate’, how the process gets ruined is your daily experience. Still, if you deem it fit to re-enact it at your convenience, the teacher is justified in his casual attitude and all those who disturb transaction are fully rewarded with what they deserve.

Learners, please learn how to learn, well before you try dominating the numerically poor teacher. Also, carefully consider as to what holds you back from such casual approaches toward a powerful teacher. You perceive of unforeseen consequences and stay quiet with them. So, when under threat the learners get conditioned to silence. Is it right to disturb the timid while trembling with fear elsewhere?

Allowing a teacher to teach is the first basic component of learner Ethics.

Ethics is a prime requisite anywhere on either side of the podium/fence. After all every teacher attempts to make you gather something; if it is an item of entertainment for you, be sure –you are the loser –whatever your merits.
