My previous VP ever told me this: Set high standards and expectations for our students, they will definitely meet up to it.
I expressed my dissapointment yesterday to a graduating class of 4E who was not able to finish an assignment by my deadline. They were silent throughout (full of remorse, I hope) and the atmosphere became so serious. I used that moment to start on a new lesson and they were very engaged-asking questions and so on.
I believe that students need constant reminders on doing of assignments, behaviour and attitude to remind them constantly of our expectations. If we expect the best from them, they will become better. Maybe not instantly but in the long run and over constant monitoring.
Makes me wonder now whether am I expecting too little from my graduating class of 4T. Can I expect more from them, in terms of academic performance and completing assignments?
