Respect or ?

there are a lot of different kind of educators actually. well, i used to be student, and now that i myself am an educator, maybe i shall reflect on this matter. there are lecturers/teachers that we respect, or dislike. so what kind of teachers will gain our recognition, while what kind of teachers will be hated?

generally (thru my observation) there are few categories as listed below:

1. those who treat lecturing/teaching as merely a job. this kinda teacher just treat job as a way to earn money to survive. hence, they normally just do what is required of, and they will do just enough... i will see them as just another normal human being. i respect them for their responsibility.

2. those who treat lecturing/teaching seriously and think they have an obligation to educate the students. this kinda teacher apart from teaching knowledge, they like to develop the students to be a useful person. hence they mix around with student in hope of raising them up. i respect them as they are wiser, i respect like an elder, a friend.

3. those who treat lecturing/teaching as a career. they constantly push education to a higher ground. they raise their expectation from time to time, to themselves and to students. it's very stressful to attend their class, as the students are always behind. i respect them for their passion in searching for knowledge.

4. those who treat lecturing/teaching as a... errr.... joke. these are the people who think education is a business, and students as customers. as long as the students are entertained, and satisfied. as long as telling jokes still work to enliven the class, they don't really care whether they have help the students academically or even personally... these kinda lecturers are lazy and always taking an easy approach to teaching. these people i shall disparage.


there are still a lot of hybrids to the above category. but i think i would like to be the mixture of no. 2 & 3, and i'm working towards achieving them. :)

e.student will respect or even hate different teacher/ lec. (i think no body will hate u la) Haha.....^_^

sir u can b categorize in no. 2 n 3, bcoz u r not only teaching what is required but sometime u will share other useful info (wish u think tat v suppose to know). :) normally the teacher/lec in this category normally been respect. Haha….

but there r lec or teacher at the 1st(a bit better then no.4) n the 4th category(this is the worst punya) will b fond at least 1 in any school, coll or uni (i suppose).
if u meet this kind of teacher or lec, u can consider tat u r really bad luck, cause u will only learn surface thing, u can't even learn thing in depth or even ntg from him/her. :(

some of them just standing in front thr n start teaching until time up without caring whether his/her student listening or not. They don’t even care whether the student understand or not, sometime u can even chit-chatting, doing other staff or even sleep in front of them n he/she(own experience). they just pretend they don't c it n just continue the lecture.

Haiz......
