Bad English Teaching!!!! (1 Viewer)

[mirakon]

To be fair a lot of the time people end up blaming their teachers for their own ineptitude

it is true. most of it is the student, being willing to ask questions, putting in the hard work and the extra effort. some of it is the teacher being there as a constant guide (ideally) and being willing to sacrifice more time to help students, some teachers aren't, for a plethora of reasons. the rest i think is having a little TLC from the rents and friends. always helps to have some encouragement and loveeeeeee <3

Strict can be good.. My English teacher's heaps strict, but very good.

can definitely occur.

i admit that im inept but i attributed it to not understanding the text thoroughly enough from just reading a given essay. ==> teacher

Tbh a lot of understanding a text is self-discovery i.e. U find key quotes, themes etc Yourself.

If ur still struggling and ur teacher is not helping ,post here on bos, someone is bound to help

lol you're going to get a nasty shock when you get to uni, OP.

Mm.. strict is scary though I especially don't like my chem teacher because he likes making everyone answer questions.

Hopefully that would make you learn stuff

My Extension 1 eng teacher is pretty good....
While, my adv eng teacher on the other hand is probably one of the worst, if not the worst, in the english faculty......

yeah, my school is ranked within 20 - 30...

Hence, why I'm going to depend on my english tutor to help me edit and provide criticism for my essays or stories, etc.

This sounds like my exact situation

My Advanced teacher just doesn't get through stuff fast enough, if anything she's not strict at all, hardly sets us homework

I found myself and a few of my friends having to do heaps of stuff for ourselves and for my friends in other classes to see what they are up to, annoying that is

it can be annoying to have a 'bad' teacher. However, hsc has more emphasis on self-study and motivation.

If you're not getting enough help from your teacher, you can consider a tutor.

True. I wouldn't leave a school 'cause of one teacher. You can get a tutor if you really want.

My English teacher...where do I start. She goes on and on about things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, when she should be focussing on more important things or, here's a thing, SHUTTING UP AND LETTING US WORK. When setting work, she is always vague about what is actually required.

Her monotone voice doesn't help things either...

Exactly like my biology teacher. Can't teach jackshit.

 

[RivalryofTroll]

Universities should make a higher ATAR cut-off for teaching....
And the friggen government should pay teachers more so this way, high calibre people actually will go into teaching if there's good pay....

Teaching was once a prestigious career to an extent... Now, it has downgraded....

Imagine 99.8 for teaching lol.

So agree with the pay part.

I'd say a minimum of 80 - 85 ATAR for teaching at the very least.

lmao

We had a catholic studies teacher last year that literally knew jack all about the the whole subject. We ask her a question and she says "I'll have to do some research and get back to you on that" even though it was on fundamental aspects of the course lol. I seriously believe she wasn't qualified; she was teaching PE since I came to the school in year 8 and all of a sudden last year 'Oh I'm a religion teacher now'.

 

[fatima96]

I had a strict but alright teacher for adv english, but then the school realised that my class had 25 kids (over the maximum lol), and another class had 20 so they moved a few people around.. and now my new teacher is the complete opposite, I don't even bother paying attention lol. English has become one of those bludge classes where I do my hw for other subjects.

LOL, my school has 38 KIDS IN ONE ROOM! FAR OUT LOL!
