Role of class representatives in the absemce off a teacher
Answers
Every class has got its own CR (Class Representative); be it a junior college, an engineering college, a management college or a medical college. But, things start changing once you become the CR. Here’s why:
1. Your name ceases to be your identity:
Before being appointed as the CR, your name is universally accepted as your identity and everybody calls you by your name; could be your first name or your last name. But things become different once you become the CR. You are recognized in your class as ‘The CR.’ Nobody in your class calls you by your name. Every student calls you ‘CR.’
2. You become the official Customer Care:
When you come across a problem with any product or service, what do you do? You call the customer care, right?
That’s what students do when they face a problem. They call their official customer care- CR straightaway. As a CR, you are supposed to provide solutions to their problems, clear their doubts and answer all their questions effectively.
3. You become the bridge between teacher and the students:
You are contacted by the teacher whenever important information has to be relayed to the students. It’s your responsibility to update each and every student with this information. Social media plays a crucial role for you. You are supposed to broadcast a message in your class’ WhatsApp group, contact the students who are not on WhatsApp through Facebook and contact the students who are not on Facebook through text messages.
