Teachers should not help students with bad grades.

This has been a good debate. Here are my rebuttals. Counter Argument#1: My first counter argument is based off this phrase you used," You either learn it or you don't." When it comes to let's say Math is it that simple. If you have trouble in calculus but very advanced in trigonometry than do you know Math. A student may understand only part of a lesson. Lessons can go on for days and maybe one of those days the student was not feeling well and misunderstood. School is a step by step program not just a one day program. In school it is never as simple as," You either learn it or you don't." Counter Argument#2: You also say,"Only the best will pass, and the others will be proved weak." Well I do hope you realize school is not the Hunger Games. School is not about being competitive or weak in any way. School is something you join to learn. To know what you want to be as an adult, not watching your peers fail and you succeed. School is dealing with children, there are not a limited amount of diplomas they want their students to succeed. Counter Argument #3 In your opposing argument you say,"The teacher's job is said in the job title, to teach." A teacher's job is to help a student succeed in life. They should teach a student. If the student is hard to teach is the teacher expected to give up? No, the teacher should try different methods and look from a student's point of view. I think that you see your peers below you. When you explain your example you call them sociable in a bad way. Not all students have the attention span of a sloth. When you said your teacher your teacher offered the failing students more options she was doing her job. In your story did every one of those kids who did not pay attentions fail? Well I doubt it. I'm sure that some of them did take these opportunities. Just because a student fails once does not mean that they don't deserve another chance. Counter Argument #4 In your last argument you used an opposing argument. This was against the rules that you made. So I believe I am entitled to counter it. Your concluding sentence in that argument says," Those who stay with what they have learned from parents and teachers will be the ones succeeding and being the strongest of the pack." Well first of all you assume that all parents are encouraging. If a student is not motivated or lazy, where do you think it come from? Parents are possibly the biggest contributor to a child's attitude. There are many parent who don't even look at their child's grades. My parents stopped checking my grade after the 3rd grade. I was a straight A student at the time. Around middle school I realized that I did not even need to try. I fixed them in High School but still my parents had none to little involvement. The other problem with this concluding statement is you saying," strongest of the pack." School is not a competition. Again School is meant to treat every student with equality. Your graduation class should be your friends, not your co-workers. School is not work, School is School. Conclusion: The Con is debating that teachers should not have compassion or mercy. The Con want school to be a competition for a diploma. Voters have you ever been confused in school. Did you got to a teacher and ask for help. If you have then you understand what I am debating. A School should be a child-friendly environment with nothing but kindness (excluding college). Teacher should help students who are having problems, they should help them succeed. P.S. Vote on my other debates as well, I have 2 ties right now.
