have to change eduational environment - video commantary
(I'm sorry for low quality movie clip and pronounciation; I add my whole paper.)
Today, I was shocked by an article about a happening occurred at a girls’ high school in Kwangju, South Korea. According to the news paper, a teacher punished her students several times by giving them a shame that order took off their uniform skirt in front of their classmates and walked around classroom. The reason why they got this punishment was they got bad score at pop quiz. As a girl, who got this punishment and who watched this punishment both felt shame but they couldn’t raise objection to teacher because they worried about teacher hate them. In our society it can be influence to get in university. However, the teacher insisted that it just one or two times and she let students seat in front of classroom with taking off their skirt but let them cover their the lower part of body with their skirt. Is it can be excuse about her behavior?
Few days ago, I saw an article from the Internet community about writer’s younger sister’s teacher. He is music teacher and he is famous for sexual harassment to young girls. He picked pretty girls among the students and bothering them in sexual way, so every girls hate music class and some girls cry after class. Actually, he was junior high teacher but he kicked out from the school because of this behavior but he move to high school and kept his behavior. He is relative of the chief director of school, so school ignored his behavior.
When I was a high school student, even though my school is Christian mission school, we had weird teachers, also. Some of them didn’t have any passion of teaching even in a class, some of them required money to students’ parents. I really hate that kind of teachers, because I couldn’t respect them. Of course I met so many great teachers in my life, but I think all teachers have to have a point that students can respect, even though the point is just love for students.
Education is really important thing in our children’s life, because education has big influence to development of children’s value. This is the reason why we concentrate on teachers. In education part, the role of teacher takes a huge place. Depending on meet which kind of teacher, children have different values. They learn values, cultures and the way of thinking, from the teachers teaching. However, in Korean society, people think this important ‘teacher’ as a stable and convenient job because except very special case nobody makes them quit the job and this job has long vacation with money. People who choose a teacher as a stable job do not have passion for teaching and lack of love to students, so they make very weird happening like as my examples. If they have real passion for teaching, they could not do unfair behavior or saying, because they don’t want to students get hurt by them.
These days, some students beat teacher or call the police, so people think teachers’ authority went away in this society different from the past, but many student still feel difficult to teacher. They try to respect teachers and follow them. This is the real situation! In this society, students just are victim. Because of the traditional authority concept of teacher, we don’t have any evaluating system even in university. In this situation, it is impossible that students judge the teacher in high school and junior high. I think we need evaluating system as fast as possible and through evaluating system, bring teachers to their senses. We had a plan to bring in teacher evaluating system but this plan is not effective. The fact that people who evaluate teachers are just two, principal and vice-principal, is the clear evidence to prove this system will not working. School is organization as same as other social organization, so they need to showing good to their supervisor. If bring in this evaluating system, they are more concentrate on their supervisor not students, and school control the teacher by their tastes. It is going well you think?
People said students don’t have a good sense of judgment as much as adult but they have ability to judge people over people’s expectation. At least, they know which one is right and who really love them. I think students have to participate in evaluation. They are the witness of teachers’ ordinary behavior and teaching. If they are participated in evaluation, teachers can’t handle student carelessly anymore and reduce hurt by teachers. It can be the best way to change our educational environment. We have to remember and consider which way is the best way for our children at first.
