答案 Freedom: Yes, But Not Too Much Nowadays, people tend to break the traditional absolute authority of teachers and grant students more freedom, which makes the classroom more liberal and democratic. In some pilot programs, teachers’ salaries are linked with students’ evaluation. While this is without doubt a good attempt, it seems to have gone too far. As I see it, students’ evaluation is not a reliable criterion to judge teaching quality and overemphasis on the evaluation may cause difficulties on the teachers’ side. To start with, students’ evaluation is far less than accurate. Hence linking the evaluation directly with teachers’ salary is not appropriate. Generally speaking, it is very difficult for students to evaluate their teachers fairly and objectively. Not being educational experts, students’ evaluation is solely based on how they feel about the teachers: Is this teacher friendly to the students? Is he too strict and most importantly, is he likely to give a high score to a particular student? Such evaluation is highly subjective, unprofessional and unreasonable. A teacher may receive less salary because he is so responsible for his course that he has failed a couple of students in the exam. Apparently, such evaluation system is not fair when seen from the aspect of the students’ immature judgment. Additionally, such system actually does no good to students. Every teacher has his own teaching plan and teaching style. We cannot expect teachers to make every student pleased and satisfied, because one man’s meat can be another man’s poison. However, under such evaluation mechanism, students are given too much power which they do not know how to exercise wisely. Students tend to blame the teacher—not themselves or the courses—once they feel unhappy about their study. And it is likely that some students will abuse their power to vent off such unhappiness by giving unreasonably low scores to their teachers in the evaluation. In this case, teachers may lose their initiatives in teaching, and be forced to please their students, which will lead to the deterioration of teaching quality. Therefore, such evaluation system is not good for students. Giving students more freedom is advisable. But before rushing into implementing novel rules, we should always consider the possible outcomes. Linking teachers’ salaries with students’ evaluation may seem a good idea at the first glance, but actually it will affect the teaching quality by giving too much power to educational amateurs.
