In every system, either official or unofficial, irrespective of the hierarchy, assessment is something so vivid and valid to know how best or how poor a person performs in the course of their professions or roles wherever they may be working and for most official settings, they count it as KPI (Key Performance Indicator).
I count it as a feedback which should not be count as an offense when it's not the kind of positive feedback we expect but rather be counted as an harmless feedback which necessarily does not need any defense but should be taken as a step to knowing what we should better or take out.
Now, taking a look at the educational sector, it's not strange to anyone that teachers have the high stance of assessing their students through grades, tests, exams, or even through their normal chit-chats during classroom or extracurricular activities but is it still polite when it is been initiated that students should be opportuned to make and give assessments about their teachers as well?
Coming from someone who has once passed through teachers who have really impacted my life as a student and those who have done nothing but to extort or just take advantage of the power they have over student, I think it will be okay that the idea comes to life but with a clause in the cause of execution so that critics towards teachers efforts towards teaching doesn't come from the place of hatred and vengeance.
Measures can be put in place like stating it in the terms and condition of the assessment application, that the student who is to assess any teacher or staff members must not have any punishable incident records with any of the teachers or non-teaching staffs from the past before the day of assessment. With this and more, the school authority will be sure that they are having the right feedback concerning their teachers because it is very important that teachers like my French teacher while I was in Junior Secondary School who would rather come to sell puff-puff for almost all of her 1 period class be corrected and redirect back to the right path they are supposed to be threading. She made French hard for me to learn and lost interest in.
In summary, teachers should be assessed by those they teach, and those they have taught as there can't be a better way to know their weakness and strengths than that. It should only be done properly using the right measures.
