Ok so what I was thinking was that instead of complaining about how awful and careless those teachers are, we should try and find ways to help them out. Usually the teachers who aren't very social, well, don't really know how to be social. Or at least that's the impression they give us. In each class that we have with them we should take a little bit of time in the very beginning of class to ask the teacher how he/she is doing. But don't stop there, ask them questions such as how their weekend was, how their day is going so far, do they have any pets, favorite color maybe. Speak to them as soon as they walk into the room or as soon as you sit down in class. If the teacher decides that we don't need to be waisting time talking but instead working, ask if they could dedicate some time every class just for that reason. Even if it takes showing up to class 10-15 minutes early! And if all else fails, you can take the time after class to socialize with them! I'm serious guys, the more communication the better! If we let them know that we care about them, then they may start caring about us in return! Give love to receive it =)
Tell me what you think!
I agree that by giving love you are more likely to receive it. I see one problem with your plan though and it may just be me. The process that you described already exists in some of my classes. They are referred to as brown nosers (spelling??). I'm not saying the plan is bad. All I'm saying is that if we are to express this interest in our teachers in order to gain their care in return we need to be sure not to cross into the bounds of sucking up. On a more positive note, I think this could work, and very well, but only if every student were to be on board and actually care.
ReplyDeleteYeah I was thinking about that as well. We would just have to be genuine about it all ya know. And every student participating would make things better.
