Discussion

You are a school teacher. A new student joins the class and is struggling to follow what you are teaching because he has joined the session late. He asks several questions in every class which are already clear to the rest of the students. If you answer all his questions, you will not be able to complete the syllabus in time. What will you do ?

  • A.Ignore the questions of this student, since it is important to complete the syllabus in time
  • B.As questions should be encouraged, answer all the questions of the student in class
  • C.As questions should be encouraged, ask the student to come to the staff room during school time and answer his questions
  • D.As questions should be encouraged, ask the student to come after school time to your home for detailed private tuitions

Answer: C

The keyed response is to ask the student to come to the staff room during school time and answer his questions.

This balances both duties: the student's questions are encouraged and answered, so he can catch up on what he missed by joining late, while class time is kept for the syllabus that the rest of the class needs. Meeting in the staff room during school hours keeps the help within the teacher's professional role.

Ignoring his questions abandons a struggling student. Answering everything in class holds up the whole class and the syllabus. Asking him home after school for private tuition crosses a professional boundary and invites a conflict of interest.
