In earlier ages, teachers were involved to grow the student such that they would respect teachers. But now a days, due to professionalism teachers value is becoming reduced. Now the relationship between students and teachers depends upon money only. what is your responses?

I get paid diddly squat, I get hounded about test scores and what I'm doing to keep the school's reputation up....but I form an excellent relationship with my students, I care about their well-being, and I take time to let them KNOW I care. If teaching is your calling, you'll form positive relationships with students no matter what.

I don't think so. You can't do any job without forming a relationship with the people you are working with. I happen to work with 11 year olds, so I form a relationship with them. It is an appropriate relationship. They know I am there for them, but I am not their friend. There's a fine line that must be established.

I can not quite figure out where you are trying to go with this. Is it a bad thing that teachers are better prepared when they enter the teaching profession? No, I do not think so. Has this somehow reduced the value of teachers? I do not know of any teachers who are teaching because of the money. It is probably the most underpaid profession there is. If I am missing the idea here please let me know. I am a teacher and consider myself a professional. I do not think that is a bad thing.

I just want to say, teachers can not be made, teacher can be borne. Great Teachers like aristotal Dr Radha krisnan did not attend any professional courses.Again we can not tell any famous teacher's name who has taken any professional courses.

I really don't believe that student-teacher relationship is only because of money. Students go to school because they value education and teachers will not become teachers unless they have a "calling" for that profession. They will not be teachers for long if they don't like the profession as it is a very difficult one. I have already graduated college but I still respect my previous professors, I even respect kindergarten teachers of my kids. Theirs is one noble profession because learning starts with them, they are very instrumental in shaping the person's character thus they deserve respect :)
