It is very vital that the students’ development are moulded and guided well by the appropriate persons such as the teachers. But if such persons fall short in their responsibility, then the future is unclear for these students.
The public education in the United States is challenged with numerous serious problems pertaining to the prevailing quality and system. One of the long-time overdue issues is the unacceptable conduct of teachers inside the classroom in terms of competency and compliance with the standards.
In 1999, investigative studies in some cities in the United States revealed the “other” face of teachers of public schools. There existed teaching malpractice by the way they ran and managed the supposed standard procedures such as test administering. It was found out that students were allowed to bring home their tests as home-works; students could take tests even beyond the allotted time; students who were considered poor in academics were discouraged from taking tests; students were given grades higher than their actual performance; and lastly, the teachers were not reprimanded for such misconduct and policy violations.
It does not matter if there the prevalence of professional misconduct in public education is high or not, as long as it does exist in the system, it should be busted. The best way to arrest the problem is through a learning management system. Through an LMS, schools are able to monitor and manage the academic training and education. The educators and students can be monitored and assessed through the LMS software. Since it is available online, all required academic activities are standardized and made official by the governing administrators. This assures the parents and students that the faculty members are performing according to the standards of the school. The curriculum and syllabus are made available online that will let the students and parents what to expect. The LMS also has a performance management feature that will assess the routine and accomplishments of teachers on a daily basis. For the grading system, the parents will no longer worry about incredible grades because the LMS can quantify the actual performance of each student according to work inputs.
A learning management system can cure the aggravating issue on teaching misconduct and malpractice, hence it should be adopted by public schools in the country.
