Guys honest opinion (rant upcoming)=
how do we feel about teachers who publicly express their disappointment in marks to the class like we're their children?
Like- why should my mark reflect how you see me and how i should act- it isn't your problem if people a) get poor marks because you spring random quizzes on us and not tell them what they're about - or, b) they don't worry about their marks because they don't want it to let them feel down.
E.g- one of my teachers gave back a couple quizzes and we were all crashing out over the marks because she's marking us down and not telling us what for- and she's going "Girls you shouldn't be laughing" like my bad gang that Our marks reflect YOUR teaching skills?
And another teacher gave back some responses saying she was utterly 'disappointed' because she gave us 'time' to study for it like we don't have other subjects to deal with- saying our examples were 'pitiful'.
I actually don't like when teachers do this as i don't believe marks should reflect the student- I understand they want us to succeed but there is also a need to consider mental health, other subjects, and home life for students.
On the contrary- one of my fav teachers gave back quizzes we all did poorly on- said we should go back and work on it- went through it- then moved on in life allowing us to not dwell on it but instead move forward to improve instead of feel disappointed in ourselves because we have a teacher saying she's disappointed in us.

omg. That;s so real like u never know what someone is going through in their personal life and telling them that they did shit isn't gonna help us improve. Like they should be constructive about the criticism. I'm actually so mad about yesterday cause like yelling at us about why our responses were shit is just outright mean and like if u want us to feel motivated and to do better then u need to at least be a bit nicer and constructive about it. Like I was literally gonna cry during that lesson cause I've never had a teacher that has been so mad over a frickin practice response. Like be patient. I had DT due on that exact day and a business topic test the period before. like gurl. It has just demotivated me even more cause now I felel more shitty about myself

And I hate it when teachers use these stupid scare tactics to motivate us. Like do u really think it's gonna motivate us. Like it's actually counterintuitive cause then ur students are gonna feel more stressed, defeated and they'll end up doing much worse. I actually can't stand it anymore. And it's just creating more unnecessary pressure that I don't need. Like I already know my writing is shit and I don't need my actual teacher to tell me it's shit too. Like stop projecting ur anger issues on us plz

IKR! And then they don't even help you to improve after- like your job is to teach, not just give us information about context and then get mad when you haven't even taught us how to properly analyse. We're going off what you're teaching us and you cannot assume we know everything because we don't. That's why we're at school.

i don't think they care about anything but marks atp- and when pressure is applied- not everyone turns into diamonds. Some crack under pressure.

ikr. I want my old English teacher back. He actually analysed it with us. This teacher expects us to do everything ourselves, then blames us for not analysing properly and beats us up for it. Like I don't care about the frickin context. I can do that myself just properly analyse it with us. And the part when she doesn't help us improve is so real. Like I need a tutor now to help me do this

so real. Like they just want better marks so that they look better, the school looks better and they get a pay rise. I crack under pressure which is why I did so bad. last term cause of all that stress. Like do u not care about our mental health. Like I actually hate teachers who don't care about our mental health. And then when she goes on about oh this test will determine whether u should drop to standard or not? Like that scared the shit out of me and even last year about the top 50 shit, triggered my English anxiety so much

That's why my school does so shit in English. Like the math to English band 6 ratio is like 1:20 at this point. They don't teach, then mark so harsh dn then beat us up for it. I actually should have stayed at my old school. I actually used to enjoy English and it was one of my better subjects, now it's my worst and it's my least fav. Edit: Actually it's more like 1:30
