Many people argue that in order to improve educational quality, high school students

should be encouraged to make comments or even criticism of their teachers. Others think it
will lead to a loss of respect and discipline in the classroom.

In contemporary society, there was a public debate about whether or not high school
students should be allowed to make feedback or evaluate their teachers. From my
perspective, While there are undoubtedly downsides to offering learners the total freedom
to judge their teachers, I am of the belief that the advantages of this issue are far
weightier than the drawbacks.

On the one hand, there are some good reasons why people tend to argue that providing
opportunities for students to evaluate their teachers will lead to the lack of respect and
discipline in the classroom. First of all, high school students are likely to be immature
and inexperienced so that they can make subjective feedback or even personal criticism,
which undermines students' sense of respect and discipline for their teachers. Besides, in
high school ages, there are usually poorly-behaved students who rarely contribute
something to the improvement of learning and teaching throughout school time.

On the other hand, despite the above arguments, I side with those who advocated that it is
beneficial to offer learners the right to criticize their teachers. To begin with, benefits for
students, allowing learners to make comments to their teachers encourages two-ways
discussion communication between each other so that learners not only create a dynamic
and welcoming learning environment that allows high school students to foster their
holistic development but also enhance their critical thinking skills. In terms of educators,
receiving constructive feedback from their learners can improve their pedagogical skills
and deliver better lessons for their students which contributes to increasing the equality of
teaching and play a critical role in teachers’ professional development.

In conclusion, despite the disadvantages of the issue, I am more convinced that providing
high school students opportunities to make feedback and criticize their teachers to some
extent will benefit both learners and educators.
