It is quite a disturbing case considering that this is an important course they are undertaking that requires total participation from both the teachers and students for the learning objectives to be fully met. The class as illustrated above has had the problem of non-participatory tendencies for quite some time now and it is good that the issue has been highlighted by Ms. Karan. To this extent, the students have shown no positive change in this behavior, and with this, we have seen as teachers that appropriate measures need to be taken to avert this sooner rather than later. These situations of having a lazy class usually result in the teachers too to have low morale in teaching the respective students.
This goes a long way in dictating their performance and competence in the areas taught. It is a common scenario to have this but when it persists then the issue needs to be forwarded to the relevant authorities for appropriate corrective measures to be taken. I hereby write this confirmation letter to assert that what Ms. Karan has said about the class is the sheer truth and it is a mutually shared sentiment by all the teachers teaching these students. The laziness has in many ways affected the mode of teaching and learning in that class.
As is usually the case with the profession, a teacher is supposed to seek an audience from the students, and the same students need to reciprocate by participating in the class activities like asking and answering questions, developing ideas stated by others and the teacher, bringing in new ideas and the general attention required. This I am afraid is lacking quite a great deal in this particular class and teaching has therefore been made rather difficult by this situation. After meeting these students with Mr.
Kamal, we have concluded that there needs to be a solution to this problem within the shortest time possible. These students should first say what their issues are with the learning system and thereafter necessary measures are taken. This notwithstanding, it is important for us, the teachers, to sit down and think of what the root cause of this is and come up with solutions for it.
