What is so good about the UK education system? Well, I have seen the differences between Malaysian education system where in the UK, students are given the responsibility to take charge of their own learning. I know it too well if I start comparing, I will end up writing with few entries, too many things to share I guess. Anyway, let's just say, apart from its awesomeness, UK education system also has the negative side of it:
1) Teachers in the UK do not have the authority in the classroom.
Teachers follow everything what administration asks. They cannot punish their students who are disruptive in the class They have to follow what the school discipline policy says. I have seen this one particular teacher in WS college where teacher didn't do anything when the student being so rude and he even caused a serious disruption to the class. The teacher just looked at him, and said something like "can you please be quiet?" I was like, "this is not the right way to handle misbehaved students, it is not right!" what? no action? well, I must say they have their own warnings and parking system but then it doesn't work, or maybe it would never work.
