I really feel like writing this out today...
after being insulted over and over...
for many of us not being hardworking...
being lazy...
as reflected in our grades...
"You lot are just plain lazy! Look... it is shown on your result slips... in black and white... you lot just cannot deny you all are lazy. Am I right?"
This is just a typical thing that some teachers think about us, let alone some who just blurt them out...
But I have an objection to show with that statement, along with another statement of "Do not blame your teachers that you fail your test"...
Both statements prove to have a tiny bit of similarity to each other...
And now...
I will express my view on this two statements...
Firstly...
we are not really lazy...
if not we won't even attempt any of the homework given to us...
Secondly...
I do not think that the blame should only be shouldered by us, students alone...
I will now elaborate on those two points I had just made...
The reason why we are getting those lousy results is not purely because we are lazy, but also because we are hardworking...
Harkworking in terms of studying...
Then it might be funny...
A hardworking student might not achieve good results...
That is the fact...
You may think that this is absurb...
hardworking = success...
that is what people teach us...
but the question is whether we have been studying effictively or not...
Studying effectively does not refer to your studying timetable or how you study...
it is whether you have been doing your homework effectively...
in which I mean whether you have been practicing the right stuff...
I think it would be easier if I give some examples...
Let's say we came across a certain question in a piece of assignment given to us by one of our teacher that we thought we knew how to do it. We will then attempt the question and then hand it up, or sometimes the teacher just does not collect them. But the hidden fact that is unknown only to you is that the answer is wrong. But since no one has ever corrected you, you will presume it is the right answer, since you thought you knew. Soon, if you come across more and more of this certain question, you will continue to put in your wrong answer. And soon, it will become a bad habit and even if you get corrected, there is a high chance that you will still put in the wrong answers...
I think that was a very long example...
However...
I will try to link them to the two statements made at the top of this post...
If our teachers are not consitent in collecting the work they give, collecting homework and just marking them with ticks even if there are wrong answers or simply not go through any answers, even if the answers are wrong, it will result in us often getting all our facts wrong and use our 'facts' to answer our questions. So does it make it partially the teacher's responsible?
It is not that we are lazy, it is just that we are hardworking practicing all those wrong stuff... so don't blame us with that obsolete excuses of "You all are just plain lazy" and "Do not blame us, blame yourself"... we are sick and tired of being insulted like this...
If you think that you disagree with all these I have written down, feel free to drop any comment in my tagbox...
