So the teachers can understand more about their children and help them solving their problems. However, the teachers are still authorised to reasonably punnish their students when they really do something wrong. If the teachers are too kind and never punnish their students even they do something against the school rules, they might not be able to control their students and that could also lead to problems.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-88004243102307400682007-09-27T23:15:00.000-07:002007-09-27T23:15:00.000-07:00Poo response<BR/>Jonah, I agree with you that students should wear school uniforms. If students can wear any things they want, they may pay most of their attention to fashion instead of their study that could lead to their worse education results. In addition, students might spend more money on their clothes which are unnecessary for them and this could result in financial problems in some students. These students may become a robber or criminal to find some money which could bring about more social problems.<BR/>Also, I agree with Yui that school uniforms should be flexible in some situation. For example, the schools should allow some poor students who have no money to buy the uniform to wear anything suitable to schools. If these students are enforced to buy the school uniform, they might have to discontinue their study which is unreasonable.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-81396993497034403842007-09-11T21:18:00.000-07:002007-09-11T21:18:00.000-07:00Sung, response<BR/>Yui, I agree with you. Anyway, for me in the past I really bored that I have to wear uniforms to go to school everyday. But after I have chance to wear everything I want at my university, sometimes I have no idea what I will wear. So I think it’s better to wear uniform and have 1-2 days a week that was allowed to wear anything.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-12461452495922164642007-09-11T02:33:00.000-07:002007-09-11T02:33:00.000-07:00Nat:The teacher as authority or friend<BR/><BR/>In education, I think that teachers facilitate student learning as their authority, often in a school or academy. The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning and thinking skills. The best thing that a teacher should do is to consider students' background knowledge and their learning goals. Then they should try to find the best way to teach students. Some students are so sensitive and anxious therefore they may need teacher who can act like a friend. A friendly teacher is a person who combines both the guidance of a teacher and the understanding of a friend. It will be grateful if sometimes teachers may arrange their job outside of the classroom by accompanying students on field trips. Every teacher should have some friendly traits. I believe that if I have teachers as my friends, I will never wander from the true path of my life and I will succeed in my further future.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-71243565405236977812007-09-11T00:31:00.000-07:002007-09-11T00:31:00.000-07:00Yui: uniforms<BR/>Almost students in Thailand wear their uniform to the school because it is the rule of their school. I think school uniform is good but in some reasons I disagree with that rule. <BR/>Some schools design the pretty uniform look like Japanese or Korean style to persuade the students to study there. I think we shouldn't follow other countries and our weather is different from those so we needn't wear the jacket or long socks to school. On the other hand, a lot of poor students in the countryside don't have enough money to buy the uniform they have only their casual clothes. The uniform might increase their parents charge. Moreover some students cannot go to school because they don't have the uniform. As a result, I think uniforms should be flexible and suitable for students in that area.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-61119252669782461212007-09-08T00:26:00.000-07:002007-09-08T00:26:00.000-07:00Jonah response<BR/>Sung, I agree with you here. Some of my best friends were girls at school... I we are still in touch 20 years later<BR/>However, I find it interesting that many of the 'top' schools around the world are indeed single sex schools. I suppose the reason is that people are not distracted by the opposite sex and get on with their education. I dont agree that this is the best method, but clearly many educators around the globe, do.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-86089956640818010842007-09-06T21:45:00.000-07:002007-09-06T21:45:00.000-07:00Sung:Single Sex VS Co-educational Schools<BR/>From the first time that I went to school until nowadays, I never study in single sex school. But, I heard many friends of mine told me about how they feel when they studied in co-educational school in the first time after a long period in single sex schools. All of them told me that they feel not confidence, they don’t know how to contact with their opposite sex friends. And from my experience in co-educational schools, I always feel happy there, I have a lot of opportunity to work with others no matter what sex they are. It’s a good chance for me, it’s also help me for my future life, because in the real world there is not separation between sexes. This is the reason why I prefer co-educational schools.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-1284739378176401562007-09-06T04:17:00.000-07:002007-09-06T04:17:00.000-07:00rubbish!IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225205983144690386.post-40258971902777373172007-09-06T03:51:00.000-07:002007-09-06T03:51:00.000-07:00Jonah: uniforms<BR/>I went to high school 5 years and for the first 2 years we had to wear uniform, then some students held a demonstration to abolish them. Amazingly, the school relented and the next year we could wear what we liked.<BR/>Having experienced both types of school I believe that uniforms are a good thing because then everyone is the same, whether you are rich or poor it makes no difference. Without uniforms people who can afford it wear the latest fashions and fasionable groups form. For instance, at the time 'lacost' was just in fashion and groups of people used to hang around wearing the same lacost clothing. If you didnt have lacost then you couldnt hang out (or so it seemed at the time)This is one reason that uniforms are a good thing.IELTSchathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338811553599124897noreply@blogger.com
