Why Send Essays at Home Instead of Reading Them?

Why Send Essays at Home Instead of Reading Them?There are very good reasons for suggesting that a teacher who is worried about sending samples of an essay to a student professionally might consider conducting the same from home. And there are even more reasons why teachers who want to give their students more of a sense of personal control can seriously consider sending them essays at home rather than having them read them in an office.First, you are simply better-equipped to see if your student is serious about taking this particular class. If you come into a school and find out that most of the students are just test taking machines who will work just as hard as they can without thinking much about the material, you are going to be stressed out about their first few assignments. You can see this yourself as you've been there; it is even harder to cope with that than to be totally clueless about what to do with a student who does actually care about reading the material and understa nding it.Second, you can set a very high bar for your student to meet. This will help you set a course of action for them. If a student has been a failure before they start college, they have probably failed every class they have taken since. Once they understand that failure is just another road ahead, it might not be so hard for them to put themselves on that path.Third, you can use the students as your own personal mentors. A professional is going to know a great deal about the curriculum, how the students should be treating it, etc. The student will have a better sense of how they are doing, which in turn means that they can help you out in teaching yourself how to go about certain concepts that you feel are too difficult for your students to grasp.Fourth, you can get students to do a lot of the work for you. This helps to maintain their motivation and gives them something to look forward to when they are studying for the first assignment. They will see that you are encouraging them to do the work, which they may not have done before.Fifth, this allows you to get to know your student better. It is hard to know what is important for them to understand and what is not so important, so by getting to know them better you can narrow down the task of teaching them to the appropriate time, and start trying to figure out the right information for them to learn.Sixth, and I am sure you will agree, it will allow you to do the homework for your student more effectively. Now that you have the materials, you can move on to explaining them to your student, while they are paying close attention to you. They will be learning from you and your student will also learn from you, and so you are both improving each other's knowledge.
