Oh noo a teacher was effective teaching me something, better drop the subject.
Dude. They saw potential in you, in your language intelligence and got you into a place where you were doing great with it.
If a teaching method causes a student to stop learning, it's a bad method
Not quite. There are 30+ kids in each class. No technique is perfect, and you need to look at the whole situation to make that kind of determination.
If I scare a kid by asking them to speak, for example, and they drop the class, that's not a teaching issue unless [insert lengthy backstory here].
But the entire meme is that point. The teacher needs to ensure the dumb shy kid so they can come out of their shell, grow and become a functional adult. The kid killing school isn't going to need as much of a hand.
Nah, because there are countless students that "quit because the teacher didn't teach how I wanted them to" which usually means "I couldn't just do fuckall and pass".
Nah, because "nuh uh, some kids are just lazy" doesn't mean anything
Yeah, it means everything. Learning is work. Teachers aren't there to put up a shitty movie and scroll on their phone. Yet countless people complain that their teachers taught them because they didn't like the work. This guy was a prime example of that - hige results but gave up because they had to work at it.
The results are giving up
The results are the knowledge of a subject. Plenty of people say "oh the teacher sucked that's why I'm so bad at X" when it's purely on the student not willing to work at it.
That's completely false
You missed the part about hours spend in detention.
Punishment is not an accepted means of instruction because it causes this type of trauma response.
They may have learned French but they also learned to hate learning French which is counter- productive to continuing with French education.
Yeah you are right. I choose to take French because I had an interest in the subject but after her class I hate French. For example of a good teacher I hated math and was getting 30% in exams then one of the teachers was really good at engaging the class and I got 90% that year. It was form 6 math which is even more impressive because he was able to teach me all the building blocks I'd missed from over the years and the new concepts all in one year. If it weren't for him I would have never caught up and gone on to take advanced math in uni ( which I failed but that was for other reasons)
