On Being Taught by Students

Being taught by students?!---- Yeah, here in UP High, we experience that a lot of times. Here in this school, we have an activity called KYSD or Know Your School Day. It is an activity were in students substitute the teachers and became teachers in their own classes. They teach their classmates and they have the right to give quizzes and assignments to their students. I experienced that of bewing a student teacher when I was in first year and second year. I was a Science c and Math teacher before. I taught my classmates and I gave them quizzes. It was a fun experience but somehow it was a little bit hard scolding your classmates.

I also experience being as student of students. A lot of times. in math, Science, and even minor subjects like Physical Education and music. Not only in Know Your School Day that I was being taught by students, but also during our hard times in a particular subject. It is because when we did not understand what the teachers taught us, we asked help to the students who are good in that particular subject. Then they taught us the lesson which we least understand. it is heplful because we could understand more the lesson which we muddled, and our scores will increase. In Know Your School Day, it is an advantage to be taught by students because they would give quizzes and assignments which are easy. That is why during this school activity, students have higher scores in quizzes and assignments. But there are also disadvantages when we were taught by our co-students. Like for example, st5udent teachers may know what they were going to teach us, but thy do not know on how to explain 6this to their students. They have a hard time expressing their knowledge to us. It is also disadvantage if hte student teachers misinterpreted the lesson, because instead of learning the lesson, we wuould also misinterpret it.

But somehow, it is also good to be t5aught by our fellow students, because we would see that they are also capable of being teachers in the near future, and they share their knowledge to those who needed their help.
