Teacher Biasness

Erik M. Dell

Unfortunately teachers can become biased as the school semester drags along. Certain students became hard to deal with while others are accepting of the challenge and excited to be in school. You don't want to be biased but then again you want someone to get excited about what you are teaching. You want class participation, you want enthusiasm.

Teachers have a hard job and they are frequently underpaid then they are asked to deal with all sorts of problems while they are trying hard to treat the other 20 kids equally. In the end the teacher must be hard on themselves and cognizant of their effect on students from their biasness.

Students can become more alienated from the class if they feel the teacher is shunning them. Conversely the favored student can grow with this newfound attention. That may seem like a good thing but lets not forget there are many other kids in class, each of them deserving of the attention and time of the teacher. Biased teachers can have a huge impact on the development of a student through high school even affecting his future education goals.
