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 feel like student being able to grade teachers will be a good thing for both students and teachers. With students you can fully show how you feel about certain tachers and with teachers you can change your class so students will have a better time in it. But sadly when there is a great thing there will useally be down sides, I do see some people taken adventage of the program.
I agree that it could be a great thing but sadly people would take advantage of it.
I think having students give the teachers feedback is a good idea. I've never had a teacher ask for feedback before. I think a lot of people would take an advantage of it though. I feel like a lot of people would use it as a way to rant about how they hate school and hate the teacher, etc,.
I agree that people could just use it as a way to rant and complain but feedback could be beneficial.
I think it is a good idea to ask for feedback becuase then you can see what you need to better. I think students should grade teachers becuase some teacher just arent the best at there job and they could work on it. Some people would take adavtge but some people wouldnt.
I think it is a good idea for teachers to ask for feedback. I think that teachers will know what to change to make the class better with this feedback. I do think that there might be some students that will take advantage of this and will just give a bad grade to teachers if they don't like them.
I have had some teachers ask for feedback at the end of the year, but I think asking at the end of the year is pointless rather than asking throughout the year. I think grading teachers would be good so they can find ways to improve their teaching styles.
I agree that asking throughout the year may be more beneficial.
I think it would be cool if students could at least share what they think about teachers ananonymous on a platform. Does not even have to be a grade, but just that they can say what they want the teacher to change. Of course students should take it serious, and not just bully the teacher.
I agree that it should be takes seriously and I like the idea of an ananonymous platform.
