Negative Effects Of Ineffective Teachers

Ineffective Teachers Have Negative Impact On Students’ Education

In the amount of time it takes to listen to a favorite song with a smartphone, how many students will have dropped out of a school in the United States? According to U.S. Deputy Secretary Tony Miller, more than 1.2 million students do not finish their high school education every year in the country, which means that nine students will drop out of their schools during a four minute song. As stated in the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress, only twenty-six percentage of twelfth grade students are at or above the proficient level in mathematics, and thirty-eight percentage of the students are at their grade reading level. What is the cause of these problems? Research

Natalie A. Johnson-Leslie, the author of “Effective vs Ineffective Teachers Educating Our Children”, claimed that ineffective teachers have inadequate classroom and management skills. They cannot control their students and cannot keep their classrooms quiet. As a result, the atmosphere of the classrooms is usually too loud for the students to be willing to learn. Derrick Meador, a school administrator and the author of “Qualities of Bad Teachers”, asserted that the teachers are not motivated to teach their students. They do not put a lot of effort into their job. They never come to school early and stay late, do not challenge their students, do not give homework regularly, give free days often, show videos frequently, and they do not prepare for their classes. It is important to thrust students hard enough to study so that they do not become discourage or panic. As stated by Strikwerda-Brown, et al, the professors at Edith Cowan University. “Poor teachers were described as not showing respect. They were also deemed to be inconsistent, untrustworthy and showed favoritism.” Poor teachers are not being fair in their classes. Not only that, but they are also not truthful and infrequently keep their promises with their students. Students never want to learn from teachers who are untruthful or people who are being biased. Students cannot be motivated to learn under the

Kathleen A. Laing indicated that students who lack motivation are not willing to make attempts and try in the classrooms. However, according to Fırat Açıkgöz, “The classroom climate influenced by the teacher has a major impact on pupils’ motivation and attitude towards learning.” In fact, Students’ lack of motivation is a result of ineffective teachers. Many researchers suppose that students who have bad attitudes tend to drop out of schools. Candeias, Adelinda and Araújo, et al, found that students who have negative attitudes have lower performance and higher rate of school failure. These unfavorable attitudes in schools are caused by teachers. As stated by Ashraf, et al, “Teacher’s personality has so many dimensions which affects students in grooming their personality and to build up their character.” The research support that teacher’s characteristics are related to students’ attitudes. Surprisingly, The NDPC found that 43.5% of the students who were pushed out of schools in 2006 dropped out due to an absenteeism. Why many students absent repeatedly? Carl Azuz, the anchor of CNN Student News, reported that over half of American students who are regularly absent say that “school is boring.” Students feel bored in classes due to boring teachers. In short, the researches seem to support that improper attitudes of students in schools are correlated to their teachers’
