Teacher Teacher!
UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS Humongous expectations of perfect behaviour, regardless of the circumstances. Teachers can’t be corrupted. Where and when the entire society is contaminated, each sector morally begin to deteriorate you cannot expect teaching to be absolutely untouched, pure. I know that teaching comes with a responsibility and there is absolutely no justification of teachers beating or sadistically torturing students, especially in schools. But about slacking, bribery, getting in tuition systems etc. if you want teaching as a profession to “remain pure” you need to protect it. And when I say “you” I mean “we” the government and its citizens, the society and its members, the colleges and its patrons everybody! And most importantly, the students and the teachers.
We got it right! We had it right. Somewhere along the way, we lost the track of it
pathshala system In olden days (Satyug) the guru was in charge of the Gurukul and students and their learning process. Reading, writing, values – absolutely everything! Guru decided everything about the learning process, when it was over and the student was ready to move on. The shishya would then give the Gurudakshina to the best of his capacity or what the Guru wanted. There was a caste system but no discrimination. Lord Ram and Kevat (who helped him cross the river during his vanvaas [exile]) shared the same Guru. We got it right! We had it right. Somewhere along the way, we lost the track of it
right now from here on I agree this is the version of extreme flipside. There are so many positives about the profession. And the positives outweigh the negative but does not make them go away. And there is no guarantee that the equation would not change. Teachers’ day is celebrated to commemorate what the day, the profession and its contribution to the society stands for. Wondering if I am the only one who believes this.

And when I say you I mean we the government and its citizens, the society and its members, the colleges and its patrons — everybody! And most importantly, the students and the teachers.
