As of right now students are obviously graded by teachers. Grades are beneficial to show what a student has learned and where they are lacking. When a teacher looks at a grade for a class it can tell them multiple things. It could show what the students understood, where certain people excell or not, and give them a general idea of how long to teach a certain subject to get the best results. Some teachers also ask for feedback instead of just looking at grades and test scores. They do this by giving surveys or talking to students by asking what would be better ways to make them understand a topic and if certain ways of teaching are good. There are some teachers who will ask at the end of the year what they can do better to teach the class but not very many.
If students were able to grade their teachers it woud be beneficial for both the student and the teacher. The student would be able to give their honest opinion on where the teacher is lacking and how they can improve. They can give their experiences in the class that are either good or bad. The students would then improve because bad habits or teaching methods will be removed and replaced with beneficial ones. While grading teachers sounds like a great way for teachers and students to be better it comes with some downfalls. Students may take this as an oppurtunity to lie about the teacher because they didn't like them for some reason. It could create a bad feeling for the teacher if they get a bad grade. Overall students could be immature and use the grading system as revenge or disrespect.
Personally I think that giving some sort of feedback throughout the year to teachers would be beneficial. It would make for a better experience in class for me and other students. I think it would help many peoples grades if teachers were able to teach how students learn the best. Teachers can't teach a whole class of students perfectly because everyone learns in defferent ways but feedback could help. I could see people taking this to their advantage and being disrespectful but overall it is a great way to benifit students.
Has a teacer ever asked you for feedback?
Do you think students should grade teachers?
Do you think people would take advantage of grading teachers?

I agree that teachers could be bullied and sometimes the teacher does not make any changes.
I think teachers should ask us for our feedback more often. I don't know if students grading teachers routinely would actually go well in reality. I feel like some people would unfortunately try to just take advantage of grading teachers, but I also think it would be easily visible.
I personally think that maybe once a year teachers should get feedback from the kids on how their teaching is because that could tell them how they need to improve to help kids learn more throughout the year. I think that would benefit both the kids and the teacher by seeing what the students need to learn and how the teacher can help them more.
I think giving teachers feedback is great for the students and the teachers. After all most teachers just want their students to excel. I don't think students should grade teachers because most students are too immature for that and it wouldn't be beneficial. I think students would take advantage of it.
I agree that feedback is a great idea to help students excell. But I do think people will take advantage of it.
I've had teachers ask for feedback quite a few times. I really don't care along as there is no problem I just go with the flow. I could care less about grading the teacher. And more than likely people will take advantage of the teacher grading system.
I believe that giving teachers feedback could help the teachers know where they are doing well or where they could improve. I think that some students would take adantage of this opportunity and lie about teachers just because they got a bad grade in their class.
I agree that teachers could find where they are doing good and where they can improve with proper feedback.
I have never had a teacher ask for feedback from me in their classroom. I think if teachers did ask for student feedback the way we learn and the environment would improve a little. Student's grading teachers would be good to an extent. I think that some students would take advantage of it though.
I agree that feedback could improve the environment a bit but people will take advantage of the system.
