Many high schools have allowed their students to make comments or even criticism of their teachers.
Is this a positive or negative development?

Students of high school have allowed to criticize and pass judgement of their teachers. I view this trend as a harmful development.

This trend, however, has some positives. One potential benefit is that making a criticism, when given constructively, can help teachers improve in teaching field and it encourages open communication between students and teachers as well. It allows teachers to understand students more and their needs during study, leading to better teacher-student relationships. Constructive feedback has high possibilities to help new teachers to be better and gain more experience, also it can lead to be more creative that helps students learn easily. With getting such feedback allows teachers to identify areas to improve and work on it properly.

Despite this, I still think being evaluated and criticized by students may give a rise to disrespect the teachers. Disrespect toward teachers can lead to lack of discipline in education, create negative environment, and decrease teaching effectiveness. Constantly, not having respect and mocking the teachers without any consequences certainly lead to lose discipline and break another rules of school consecutively. Also, it might widely spread misbehavior through other schools with making it a trend. Without discipline, students’ academic performance will lower and it leads to negative environment which interrupts the lesson. For instance, while having disturbs during the lesson cause to lose concentration of the teacher and that leads to another problem which is diminishing teaching efficiency. In the absence of proper instructions, there is always poor academic achievements.

In conclusion, while having supportive critique provide to be more experienced teacher, it can lead to erode honor for teacher and having unsatisfactory academic performances. For these reasons, I consider this development to be harmful one.
