Top 10 Worst Things a Teacher Can Do

By Melissa Kelly

　　Here is a list of items that you should avoid as a new or veteran teacher. I have only included serious items in my list and have left off such obvious offenses as having affairs with students. However, any of these can create problems for you as a teacher and if you combine two or more than just expect to really have a hard time gaining student respect and finding your profession enjoyable.

　　1. Avoid smiling and being friendly with your students.

　　While you should start each year with a tough stance and the idea that it is easier to let up than to get harder, this does not mean that you shouldn’t have students believe that you aren’t happy to be there.

　　2. Becoming friends with students while they are in class.

　　You should be friendly but not become friends. Friendship implies give and take. This can put you in a tough situation with all the students in the class. Teaching is not a popularity contest and you are not just one of the guys or girls. Always remember that.

　　3. Stop your lessons and confront students for minor infractions in class

　　When you confront students over minor infractions in class, there is no possible way to create a win-win situation. The offending student will have no way out and this can lead to even greater problems. It is much better to pull them aside and talk to them one-on-one.

　　4. Humiliate students to try and get them to behave.

　　Humiliation is a terrible technique to use as a teacher. Students will either be so cowed that they will never feel confident in your classroom, so hurt that they will not trust you ever again, or so upset that they can turn to disruptive methods of retaliation.

　　5. Yell.

　　Once you've yelled you've lost the battle. This doesn't mean you won't have to raise your voice every once in awhile but teachers who yell all the time are often those with the worst classes.

　　6. Give your control over to the students.

　　Any decisions that are made in class should be made by you for good reasons. Just because students are trying to get out of a quiz or test does not mean that you should allow that to happen unless there is a good and viable reason. You can easily become a doormat if you give in to all demands.

　　7. Treat students differently based on personal likes and dislikes.

　　Face it. You are human and there will be kids you will like more than others. However, you must try your hardest never to let this show in class. Call on all students equally. Do not lessen punishments for students you really like.

　　8. Create rules that are essentially unfair.

　　Sometimes the rules themselves can put you in bad situations. For example, if a teacher has a rule that allows for no work to be turned in after the bell rings then this could set up a difficult situation. What if a student has a valid excuse? What makes a valid excuse? These are situations it would be best to just avoid.

　　9. Gossip and complain about other teachers.

　　There will be days when you hear things from students about other teachers that you just think are terrible. However, you should be noncommittal to the students and take your concerns to the teacher themselves or to administration. What you say to your students is not private and will be shared.

　　10. Be inconsistent with grading and/or accepting late work.

　　Make sure that you have consistent rules on this. Do not allow students to turn in late work for full points at any time because this takes away the incentive to turn in work on time. Further, use rubrics when you are grading assignments that require subjectivity. This helps protect you and explain the reason for the students' grades.

　　譯文：

　　這里列出了無(wú)論是新教師還是經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的教師都應(yīng)該避免發(fā)生的事情。我只是列出了一些嚴(yán)重的問題，而沒有涉及一些明顯的冒犯學(xué)生的問題。但是，作為一名教師，這些問題中的任何一個(gè)都會(huì)帶來麻煩，如果你做了其中的兩個(gè)或更多的事情，你就很難贏得學(xué)生的尊重，進(jìn)行舒適的教學(xué)。

　　1.不對(duì)學(xué)生微笑和友好

　　每年開學(xué)你會(huì)很辛苦，雖然抱著變得放松總比變得更艱苦來得更容易的想法，但是這并不意味著你需要讓學(xué)生相信你很快樂。

　　2.在班里與學(xué)生稱朋友

　　你需要對(duì)學(xué)生友好，但不代表你要和學(xué)生成為朋友。友誼意味著付出和獲得，這樣會(huì)將你在全班學(xué)生面前陷入困難的境地。教學(xué)不是普通的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，你也不是男生女生中的一員。要永遠(yuǎn)記住這一點(diǎn)。

　　3.課堂上停下教學(xué)，將違反紀(jì)律的學(xué)生當(dāng)作反面教材

　　在課堂上將違反紀(jì)律的學(xué)生當(dāng)作其他學(xué)生的反面教材不可能獲得雙贏的結(jié)果，這會(huì)讓違反紀(jì)律的學(xué)生下不了臺(tái)，甚至引發(fā)更加嚴(yán)重的問題。最好在其它地方對(duì)他們進(jìn)行一對(duì)一的談話。

　　4.為了試圖讓學(xué)生行為得當(dāng)而侮辱他們

　　作為一名教師，使用侮辱是一件很可怕的事情。學(xué)生會(huì)被嚇到，以至于在你的課堂上感到不自在，因?yàn)槭艿絺�害從此再也不�?huì)信任你，或者對(duì)你的行為感到煩躁，利用打斷課堂來報(bào)復(fù)你。

　　5.對(duì)學(xué)生大叫

　　一旦你對(duì)學(xué)生大叫，你就已經(jīng)輸了。這并不意味著你一次也不能提高你的嗓門，但是，一個(gè)總是對(duì)學(xué)生大叫的教師常常是課堂情況最糟糕的教師。

　　6.放棄對(duì)學(xué)生的管理

　　你在課堂上做的任何決定都要有充分的理由。不能僅僅因?yàn)閷W(xué)生不想?yún)⒓訙y(cè)驗(yàn)或考試，你就允許他們不參加測(cè)驗(yàn)或考試，除非他們有充分而實(shí)際的理由。如果你屈服于所有的要求，你就很容易成為受氣包。

　　7.依據(jù)個(gè)人喜好區(qū)別對(duì)待學(xué)生

　　直面這個(gè)問題吧，你是一個(gè)人，肯定會(huì)喜歡某些學(xué)生比喜歡其他學(xué)生更多些。但是，你必須努力不要在課堂上表現(xiàn)出來。公平地讓所有學(xué)生都回答問題，不要減輕對(duì)你特別喜歡的學(xué)生的懲罰。

　　8.制定非常不公的紀(jì)律

　　有時(shí)，一些紀(jì)律本身就能把你置于困難的境地。例如，如果一個(gè)教師規(guī)定不許在上課鈴響后上交作業(yè)，那么，這就會(huì)造成麻煩。如果學(xué)生確實(shí)有充分的理由呢？有充分的理由會(huì)怎么樣？這是最應(yīng)該避免的情況。

　　9.散布其他教師的謠言，抱怨其他教師

　　有時(shí)候，你會(huì)從學(xué)生那里聽到你認(rèn)為很可怕的、關(guān)于其他教師的事情，但是，你對(duì)學(xué)生的話要不置可否，只要關(guān)心那個(gè)教師本人或管理就行了。你對(duì)學(xué)生所說的話不會(huì)是“天知地知你知我知”的，肯定會(huì)被他人知道。

　　10.評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不穩(wěn)定或接受遲交的作業(yè)

　　確保你在評(píng)分方面有一貫執(zhí)之的規(guī)則。不要任何時(shí)候都允許學(xué)生遲交作業(yè)并且給滿分，因?yàn)檫@樣是縱容學(xué)生不按時(shí)交作業(yè)。而且，當(dāng)批改主觀性作業(yè)時(shí)要有評(píng)分說明，這可以幫助你向?qū)W生解釋評(píng)分原因。
