Teacher advice

Why You Should Follow Teachers' Advice.

Teachers offer advice with the intention of helping their students succeed. However, not all students heed this advice, often leading to disappointment in their academic performance. Let me explain further.

At the beginning of the semester, I assigned two tasks to be completed by the end of April 2024. I emphasized the importance of not procrastinating, as submitting assignments early would allow for feedback and corrections, ultimately maximizing grades.

Despite the warning, many students waited until the last day to submit their work. Yesterday, amidst a full day of classes, I received numerous submissions to assess. Due to time constraints, I couldn't provide feedback as promised. This scenario highlights common issues encountered:

1. Broken links within submissions.
2. Missing or incorrect links to the original sources.
3. Failure to meet the minimum word count requirement.
4. Submission of screenshots instead of the required content.
5. Minimal effort from last-minute submitters compared to those who completed the task earlier and produced well-structured reviews.

In essence, the assignment was straightforward, and with effort, students could have achieved high scores. My grading was fair, not penalizing for minor errors.

Upon closing submissions, I anticipate inquiries from students dissatisfied with their grades. Hence, I'm writing this to direct them here.

There's no excuse for subpar performance. Those truly dedicated to learning English will find ways to practice and improve. The disparity between committed and indifferent students is evident in class participation and engagement.

Monthly reports highlight exceptional students who actively participate, engage in exercises, and seek additional learning opportunities. They are the reason for my passion in teaching. However, there are also those who show little interest, as observed in today's classes, here show at the following pictures:

This is a review of the post from one of my student = # E04 Zhang Wanyu 4126 # 

After reading the article shared by the teacher, I had a feeling. This article is a striking and thought-provoking piece that perfectly captures a common yet critical issue in modern education. As someone who has witnessed similar academic dynamics firsthand, I find the author’s honest reflection on student procrastination both relatable and deeply concerning. The vivid description of last-minute submissions—riddled with broken links, missing sources, and minimal effort—serves as a stark wake-up call for students who underestimate the value of timely and conscientious work. What makes this commentary so powerful is the teacher’s balanced perspective. They did not simply punish procrastination but rather highlighted the stark contrast between dedicated students who actively engage, seek feedback, and take pride in their work, and those who treat assignments as an afterthought. This disparity is not just about grades; it is a reflection of work ethic and accountability that will shape students far beyond the classroom. The images of disengagement in class paint a sobering picture of wasted potential, reminding us that education is a two-way street—teachers invest their passion, and students must meet them with effort. Ultimately, the article sends a crucial message: teachers’ advice is never arbitrary. It is a carefully crafted roadmap to success, designed to help students avoid unnecessary pitfalls and reach their full potential. Procrastination may offer short-term ease, but it robs learners of the opportunity to improve through feedback and grow into disciplined, responsible individuals. For students, this article is a vital reminder: success in academics—and in life—starts with listening, acting early, and valuing the guidance of those who want to see you succeed.
