Do Teachers Treat Their Students Equally

Do Teachers Treat Their Students Equally?
2

• This has been a debated issue since some believe
  that students need to be treated equally while
  others say that each student should be approached
  differently. However, both approaches have their
  advantages and disadvantages.

3

• Do students enjoy being treated equally? Does it
  benefit them in the long run? Does it improve the
  relationship between the teacher and the
  students? Some of these questions may not be
  clearly answered since thoughts on this matter
  vary from one individual to another. However,
  some factors may be seen as reasons for the
  unequal treatment of students by teachers.

Performance Level of the Students

• Every student is equipped with different
  abilities and skills in studying. This ranges
  from those who can grasp almost everything taught
  in class to those who need to revisit their books
  each and every time to understand a particular
  concept.

6

• In this situation, equal treatment of students
  may be discouraging to those who are weak, since
  they may require more attention from the
  teachers.

Gender Bias

• Girls tend to be socialized by teachers towards
  the feminine ideal. They tend to be praised as
  being obedient, calm and well organized while
  boys are treated with less importance as they are
  expected to be independent.

8

• Gender bias may also apply in situations where
  male teachers tend to favor the female students
  while the female teachers favor the male
  students.

Racism

• Students from ethnic minority backgrounds tend to
  be treated unequally from those in the majority
  ethnic background. For instance, a teacher may
  perceive a student from a minority ethnic group
  as being a weak student and use offensive
  statements while teaching. This may make the
  student feel demoralized, and it may affect their
  performance in class.

11

• Some of these factors should not make a teacher
  treat a student differently. Gender bias and
  racism may affect those who are facing it both
  emotionally and physically. In such a situation,
  the students need to be treated equally, and less
  emphasis should be put on their gender and ethnic
  background.

12

• However, on the level of performance, the teacher
  should consider using the individual approach on
  students so as to motivate the weak students and
  also recognize the strong ones so that they may
  not feel left out. Teachers should, therefore,
  choose the best approach and why they feel it is
  the appropriate one to be implemented.
