Should children be allowed to grade their teachers?

Here too I have different idea. Did you notice that all children have different birthdates? And different heights, and weights, and colors....etc. etc. So how can we expect all of them to have uniform level of brain growth? One of the reasons I do not like the education system as we have as of now. Judging the knowledge of the child in subjects that he or she would never use in life is silly and waste of brain power. Instead, teach him or her to remain amicable, and respectful, and make him or her feel well that is the library those are the books. Read whatever you will. If your read this, you can become this, else that. If you need help, contact teacher. Then, at the end of such self study by the student, let him or her create something which the adults can guide them in. Examination is nonsense.

Wait... isnt that "exam result" thing often misinterpreted to be the grading of a Teacher?

They would have to explain why they like the teacher or why they don´t.

In college they have rate a professor. But for kids/children, I mean they can voice their opinion anonymously but I'm not sure about grading.

I am not sure if grading is what i would call it. If the teacher has had to get onto the child then they are going to give them a bad grade kind of like showing favorits. But taking a survey for the teachers mind set would be good.

we are evaluated by our students at the end of every semester. i am glad that if i am not on top, i am in number 2 as the most efficient CI (humbly speaking), and it shows with the number of years as a part-time CI for 11 years now (going 12 this school year).

I believe that it depends how mature the children are. In college students rated their professors and I think that this is very important. Young kids are not mature enough to do this.

I know that they do here in my town.

@Daljinder I reckon yes! I think a teacher could improve on how he / she handles teaching and talking to children etc. There's always room for improvement.

Students in high school and college definitely can be instrumental in ensuring that the teaching staff is up to the mark. In the end, the student is a consumer. And the students pay for the services of the teachers. Once students are old enough and capable of making certain decisions, it is well within their rights to grade teachers and ensure that they are getting the best services possible. The school should come up with a good and confidential questionnaire which judges a teacher based on skill, sensitivity to students needs, racial and gender sensitivity, general conduct in the classroom and other such criteria. For younger students, parents must be actively involved in this process.

Children can talk to their parents, who can then base their grades upon their own and their child's interactions with the teacher.

At my school they have us take surveys on our teachers and they let us tell them what's wrong with their teaching
