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?

The only time I can remember a teacher asking a class for real feedback and not just something that came with the set of worksheets they printed was last year when mr. Yeoman made us all fill out a google form asking how he could improve the class. He even had us give him a letter grade in different sections. To be honest, I feel like giving teachers feedback would be a great choice.
I remember Mr. Yeoman doing this and I think it could be very beneficial.
I think that while there are some instances where a teacher wants their class to critique them, it is ultimately not going to change anything without the teachers willpower. Those higher up than the teacher such as the pricipal or superintendent is the one to judge the teacher, and not so much the student.
I have never had any teacher really as me for feedback on their teaching or classroom. I think that students should have someway to critique teachers so the teachers know what they could do to be better for the students and also what there doing well. I feel that some students would then become very rude to teachers and in some way bullly those teachers if they are not fond of them definitely.
I agree that there should be some sort feedback that students give to teachers but I also agree that teachers could get bullied because they are not liked by that specific person.
