Essay / I want to go to the prose of Suzanne B. Jordan - 1673
I want to go to the prose of Suzanne B. JordanIn "I want to go to the prose" (1995), Suzanne B. Jordan emphasizes that the work of A teacher's duty is to help students with their studies, but whether teachers should help students solve their personal problems is controversial. In other words, students should not approach teachers with their personal problems so that the teacher will, out of pity, excuse them or be a little more considerate when grading their papers. It's like using emotional intelligence (emotional dark mailing, etc.) on teachers, which tends to distance them from their fundamental responsibility; which involves teaching and assessing all students equally. In his article, Jordan provides great support for this; specifically, a girl, Marylou Simmons, stops by Jordan's office to ask him to give her a D or an incomplete on the course instead of failing it, because she was having problems with her boyfriend. By bringing up personal issues in the discussion, Marylou was trying to gain the professor's sympathy. In this case, if the teacher helps him, it would be ethically unfair to all other students. Essentially, Jordan is arguing that students should not use their personal problems as an excuse for their poor performance and that in return, they should not expect any sort of differential treatment from teachers, in the form of a gentler correction and a request for pity and forgiveness. in some cases. In my opinion, Jordan has a valid point. A teacher's primary duty is to help students with their studies, not to listen to or resolve students' personal problems. It is therefore not advisable to approach the teacher and ask for leniency by presenting your case in an emotional manner. It is similar...... middle of paper ...... it is to teach and make students respectful. Jordan, in the article "I Want to Switch to Prose," Jordan says: "The function of schools, their first and foremost obligation, is not to probe tender psyches, to feed and clothe the homeless , nor to be the dad. and mom, a child never had. The job is to teachâ (1995, p.2). In other words, schools are for students to learn and acquire knowledge, not to solve their problems. They must therefore be treated in the same way by students and teachers. What schools can report in a psychiatrist service in hospitals. There the psychiatrist can help students with their social problems. This, in my opinion, will be the best solution for people who oppose my ideas and it would make the life and work of a teacher much easier and more important..
