I'd say they are because ultimately teachers are judged on the performance of their students, so obviously they want them to do well.

No; only if it benefits them in some way, then yes. Otherwise, they dont give the slightest ****

i suppose my teachers are a bit nervous, but mostly because at my school the departments all compete with each other over who gets the most A*s at GCSE, who gets the most As at AS/A2, who gets the most students to the top unis studying their subjects etc. it's pathetic really!

I guess they might be a bit cos if the whole (or majority of the) class gets really low results then it wouldn't reflect very well on them...

Last year AS chem, 9 out of 14 people failed (U). My teachers are still employed, and there are just as many AS students this year.

if their jobs relied on certain grades being achieved then yes, i guess so

I don't think jobs would be rely upon certain grades being met but if all the students in your classes get good grades over a number of years then it looks good on you....plus schools like to use the X% of our students acheived A-C grades to make the school look good! :biggrin:

Haha yes, they sure are bothered.. I wouldn't say worried though. I heard from my graphics teacher that her and the other teacher always have a competition about which class gets the best grades. She spent the whole of the year bragging to him about how well she thought we'd do. lmao.

Correct me if I'm wrong but some schools rank their staff as weak, strong, okay. They base it on the examination results of their students, effectiveness of teaching, teaching style, etc. So I think they would slightly care about the overall results, but I don't think they would be 'nervous' as this don't really matter that much.
Also, individual results may tell teachers if the student is improving or not. It may worry them if a high achiever didn't perform well.

I know my Mum is, she was the head of maths for most of this year, so she's worried over the results there.

Yes teachers are worried about their students results very much so. At the start of the year they have to give predicted outcomes for them.

Any teachers who are not concerned should not be in the job at all.

How about teachers who don't ask their students how they did?

Should be shot!!!

Teachers should know exactly how their students did, all school etc recieve results of all those that sat exams. This data needs to be held in school and processed into a data manager program so they can track results year on year.

Ahh right...... teachers should be interested in how you did. How you thoguht the exam went and what did you find hard/easy etc. It all helps better their teaching practise.
