What Are The Pros And Cons Of Helping Teachers And Students

Pros and cons on whether teachers and students be friends on social media?

It's quite a tough question to answer. But yeah right making teachers online friends have its own cons and pros.Like let me explain one incident from my school days.I was in 12th standard and my physics teacher use to teach not well. I was very irritated with the way she use to teach. And one day i was solving some numerical problem and i was unable to do them and i just posted on my Facebook wall that PHYSICS AND PHYSICS TEACHER BOTH ARE MAKING ME MAD without in mind that our computer teacher is in my friend list who was very good friend of my physics teacher. After two days when she came to class after teaching she said these days people are using too much Facebook. We werw like yes mam. And then she said“aajkal Bache pta kya kya post kr rahe hain Facebook pe ki, physics aur unki mam unhe pagal kr rahi hai”And then she said you know kriti has Posted this thing on social media. And i was kind of sincere student in class , and the way she insulted me was like hell. And i said sorry to her.Another incident isI am connected to my old teachers and you can message them anytime any suggestion. If you do something good they will be there to congratulate you. The love and blessings the shower in messages is just next to awesome.Ps. I do respect my teachers. Humans do mistakes and I also did one and learned a lesson. Thats it

What are the pros and cons of giving teachers guns?

The Pros:1: A teacher could, perhaps, take out a school shooter before the shooter did too much damage. This is questionable, as police officers, who are trained to use their weapons, regularly miss when shooting at targets while under duress. Now look at a teacher, who would be under the added duress of protecting their students and have much less training.2: A school shooter could maybe (but probably not) be deterred from attacking a target because there are armed teachers. This is assuming that the shooter has any regard for their own life, which is unlikely.The Cons:1: Many, many people are killed by negligent discharges and accidental shootings in America. Now take this threat and place it in a room full of kindergartners.2: There are a lot of crazy teachers out there. Adding guns to this mix seems like a bad idea to me.3: Kids are inquisitive and resourceful. If they want to get their hands on something, odds are they will. I assume that when people talk about arming teachers, they don’t mean something slightly more sensible (not saying much) such as placing locked gun cabinets in classrooms. Instead, they mean something like providing a teacher with a weapon to store in their desk. Now the school shooter doesn’t even need to bring their own gun to school.4: Teachers should be respected. Not feared. How are kids supposed to perform in class if they know that their teacher is potentially one step away from a psychotic break that could have them shooting?5: Where would the money to arm/train these teachers come from? Is the assumption that people living on a teacher’s salary are going to purchase weapons and attend training courses on their own dime? On the other hand, if this prompts legislators to actually raise teaching wages, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing…6: Most importantly, are teachers actually going to want to do this? I know that the vast majority of mine would flat-out refuse to carry a gun at school. My history teacher is a former marine who owns guns and shoots recreationally, and he swears that he would never carry a gun to school. So who will? If a school features no teachers who are willing to carry, then are they going to be forced to?

What are the pros and cons of being a teacher?

Cons:Everyone thinks they know how to do your job. Pro baseball general manager Billy Beane, of Moneyball fame, once noted that "Everyone who ever picked up a bat thinks he knows baseball," and the same could be said for teaching. Almost everyone has been through at least 12 years of school, so everyone thinks they know exactly what teachers do. And many of them think it's really not that hard.You must work with people (i.e., teen-agers) who are often very unpleasant to be around. To be fair, not all teens are rude, surly, lazy, and self-absorbed, but it is common.There are so many things you can't control. For example, what type of students you have, what kind of parents your students have, how supportive or competent your administration is. The amount of non-teaching related work is very high. It's true that all jobs have tasks that aren't directly related to the "real work" but that still have to be done (paperwork, etc.), but based on my experience in a couple of other careers, the amount that has to be done by teachers is much higher than average.There's a general lack of societal respect. This is a broad generalization of course, but in the United States at least, many people think of teachers as little more than babysitters. Politicians often encourage this attitude for political reasons.Pros:There are many thing you can control. You have a great deal of control over how you manage your classes, how you spend your time, and over your own attitude.There are a huge number of intellectual and managerial challenges every day. Teaching is a lot of things but it's rarely boring.What you do matters. Teaching is a lot like parenting. You're helping young people to become healthy, productive adults. That's a difficult job, and it's often frustrating, but it's something that's meaningful. If you'd rather make a ton of money, you can go work on Wall Street.

What are the pros and cons of inclusion for students with autism?

Inclusion is a philosophy and an educational approach that offers all students equal opportunities for academic and social accomplishments. Inclusive education highlights the importance of educational practices based on the philosophical belief that all learners (those with special needs and those without) have a right to be educated together. This setting can be done in age appropriate class groups, where everyone will benefit from education in mainstream schools. This environment allows parents, teachers, and others to work collaboratively using appropriate resources to understand and interpret the needs and abilities of all students.AdvantagesHelps build meaningful friendshipsIncreases social initiations, networks, and relationshipsHelps in building social and behavioral skill, along with building peer role models for academicsIncreases access to general curriculumEnhances skill acquisition and generalization along with curriculum adaptationsCreates opportunities for interaction and social skill developmentsIncreases acceptance and appreciation of individual differencesPrepares all students for adult life in an inclusive societyOpportunities to master activities by practicing and teaching othersTo me it’s the best approach and never found any flaws in it. However the programme still needs to improve the way it provides education individually to each child. Each student should be specially taken care of their needs to drive the best results. And it mostly depends on the centre that provides inclusion therapy. It’s always better to choose the centre that excels in providing better inclusion for students.Read more at Autism Spectrum Disorder Treatment in Dubai - Stepping Stones Center

What are the pros and cons for an international student studying in France?

I chose to spend my year abroad in France.I’ll focus more on the cultural, learning aspects as compared to job prospects, pay etc.For me, the benefits clearly outweighed the cost (singular).I did my exchange from my university in the UK.I had tons of options, from universities in Europe to the ones in North and South America but I chose France.The basic reason is I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. Yeah, UK was out of comfort zone too since I’m originally from Pakistan but I wanted to go further.And oh, did I indeed got the challenging environment.France was completely different from what I was exposed to. Sure, I knew the basics plus just a bit about their culture from tv but that’s about it. When I landed in Paris in 2013, I only spoke a few phrases of French and that’s it.I throughly enjoyed my time there. I truly learned so much about life in France, culture, history, people and what not.During my first semester, most of my fellow students were also exchange students and I got to meet people from all across the world.One thing which was different here, there were virtually zero Pakistani students at my university in France and I’m willing to wager that I was the first Pakistani student ever at Audencia Business School. Thing is, there are tons of Pakistani students in the UK, and even at my university there, I knew some people from Pakistan before I even started. So naturally, many of the people from my friend circles were Pakistanis.Thus, I HAD to go the extra-mile to socialise.Study-wise, my course was the polar opposite of the UK. Where in the UK, course was theoretical based, at Audencia, it was highly focused on the practical aspects.I could go on and on, but you get my point.The only disadvantage, and it is a big one, is the language barrier. I just had and still do, have the basic grasps of French and I was able to get by. Mainly due to the fact that I only had to spend a year there, but if you’re planning to do a complete degree or want to better integrate, fluency in French is a must.Regardless, up to not so long ago, I classify my decision of spending a year in France as the single most life-changing incident in my life! And yeah, I’ve thought long and hard on that.Abdulla Muhammad's answer to What is an incident that changed your life?

What are the pros and cons to arming teachers in American public schools?

There’s a reason why law enforcement and teaching are entirely different professions.There is hardly any overlap in skill set, among those two professions.Today, we have school shootings, and so we want teachers to play the role of law-enforcement. What next?Will we expect mail-men, doctors, professors, engineers etc to play law enforcement too, should shooters turn to post-offices, universities and corporate firms?This is a short-sighted, unsustainable, poorly thought out, knee-jerk solution.Oh…school shootings! Easy, just arm the teachers. Done. Next issue, please?I am not exaggerating when I say, arming teachers is a wildly stupid, dangerous idea with a laundry list of potential issues.Children getting caught in the cross-fire between a shooter and teachers.Police being unable to distinguish the shooter from all the gun-toting teachers (schools can be big enough that not all teachers know one another).Teacher missing their target and hitting students.Armed teachers with personal issues, making them consider violence.An armed teacher responding poorly to the stressful situation and doing something crazy, like shooting at random.Theft of the firearm from the teacher in school, by a student.Armed teachers later developing mental health issues.Teachers who are already underpaid and overburdened, having to take on the added responsibility of defending the students.Expenses relating to teacher training.Expenses related to buying and maintaining guns and ammunition.Asking a teacher, who is supposed to be imparting learning, to risk their lives in a shootout!Teachers incorrectly identifying the shooter.Teacher facing the prospect of having to potentially kill a shooter that happens to be one of their own students.Collapse of the learning environment.People opting out of the teaching profession due to the additional responsibility of essentially being a law enforcement officer.Parents opting to not enroll kids in school districts that permit armed teachers.The pro’s are of course, quite obvious, as pointed out by many in this thread.

What are the pros and cons of working as a male teacher?

There’s definitely a lot of pros and cons to being a male teacher, so instead of trying to list them all off, I’m going to pick one of each and go in-depth.Pro: Students respect you more.I have a much less difficult time controlling a lot of students than my female counterparts do, even though they tend to have a lot more experience than I do. I think part of it has to do with the fact that I’m much more physically imposing than they are, but also I think among younger people, men tend to garner more respect than women do (not saying I think this is okay, this is just what I’ve seen). I also think the larger size and deeper voice tends to help with commanding a classroom, and doing all sorts of other stuff.Con: ParanoiaAs a male teacher, especially a young male teacher, I’m so incredibly paranoid about rumors of teacher-student relationships that I refuse to be in a room with fewer than 3 students. There’s such a high potential for false sexual harassment claims that it’s not worth the risk to my career, even if the student needs help. There’s also a strange perception surrounding young male teachers that we’re not necessarily in the classroom because we want to help students, but for other reasons (think along the same lines I listed earlier in this section), and it quite frankly pisses me off. When working with older students, you also have to worry about crushes and students attempting to act on crushes, which could go south when the teacher doesn’t accept this stuff (hence why I won’t be in a classroom with fewer than 3 students). So there’s a lot of paranoia associated with being a teacher.I don’t know if others agree with me or not, but these are things that I’ve seen in the classroom.
