BKC Moscow Teachers! You Must Bow to the Evil Queen. Bow to the Students!

Most of you are young and eager. We were just like you once. We were sold the dream, only to see it die.

This is BKC Moscow's way of telling you that you must do exactly as the students tell you. They are in charge of you, not the other way of them. Fail to submit will result in damage. Do exactly as the students tell you. If it is impossible to do so, you still must do it. You have no authority. That is why we have overheard some of you, at Boro, telling the other rookies that your adult students have ousted you from your classes.

You are, quite simply, a liability to BKC International House Moscow. The students are an asset.

From the BKC Moscow Weekly News:


STUDENT FEEDBACK FORM
Dear teachers,
In order to increase student retention by providing classes students are happy with, we have introduced a student feedback form. The form is to be given to your adult students with the progress/end of level test, and will let you know what the learners think about the content and level of difficulty of the materials you use, what they want more/ less of, what they think about the course book etc. If you’ve already done the first progress test it’s still a good idea to give the students the feedback form, to see what they think about the course.
The forms are to be given by the teacher to the students, then collected by the teacher. After you look at them and decide how to adapt your classes to the students’ feedback, pass the forms to the ADOS of your school.
Please tell your students why you are giving them these forms (to find out how to better adapt the lessons to what they want) and ask them to be honest in their feedback.
Ask your LO/ ADOS for a copy of the form or download it from the Teachers’ Forum.
Thank you.

No, thank YOU, BKC. Thank you for entrusting us to not do our jobs correctly.

  1. I'm sure you'll be shocked to find out that collecting feedback from students is common practice in most schools.
    Is the author of this post afraid of what his/her students think about his/her lessons?
