Nowadays, there have been many debates on the relationship between the teacher and the student in universities. Some people claim that since students pay much for their education, teachers should provide them with service. Since everyone who uses service is a customer, teachers are here to serve their customers, the students. While others believe that treating students like customers undermines their education. What is your opinion? Write an essay of about 400 words entitled:
Don’t Treat Students as Customers
In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

Don’t Treat Students as Customers Because of the pressure colleges and universities face concerning the graduation rates, they urged to change the attitude of how they treat their students. Indeed, the latest trend is to treat students as consumers and schools as service providers, eager to satisfy their needs. Is the universal teaching of US-style management transforming schools into companies, students into customers and teachers into clerks? As far as I am concerned, whatever teachers do, they should not treat their students like customers. Students, in recent years, have become something of a concern. There seems to be a greater expectation for spoon-feeding. Learning seems to be little more than preparation for exams. In spite of improving the learning environment, enthusiasm does not seem to be keeping pace. If one were to treat students as " customers ", with the prevailing attitudes to learning, the feedback system for ranking teachers could become a weapon that will see an erosion of educational standards as teachers adopt styles aimed primarily at pleasing students. On the other hand, if faculty members treat students as customers who are always right, they may not learn effectively. Treating students like customers undermines their education. Catering to their every need and desire in an effort to delight the customer robs students of an active role in their own education. While the trends in the development of knowledge and emerging new technologies will have a continued impact on the way teaching develops, it is becoming harder to see how the present day student will impact educational styles in a desirably positive way. The once indispensable ally to the development of teaching seems to have taken on a diminishing role. Meanwhile, the search for directions in teaching continues amidst the changing scenery and is likely to be a lasting challenge to those in the profession. Instead of "weakening" education, we should adopt a different guiding metaphor: students should be viewed as partners, not as "enemies" or even "customers". On the one hand, perceiving students as "enemies" implies a competitive relationship of which there can only be one winner. On the other hand, by treating students as partners, students will be more involved and committed to the learning process and this partnership concept is a win-win situation in the end. For example, a teacher may allow his students to influence the content they learn, e, g. allowing students to propose topics, select cases and projects for in-depth dlscussion, etc. In addition, casting students as partners may contribute to the development of their character. They can feel they are treated as equals and thus develop such qualities as independence, self-esteem, and so on.
