Gone are the days, where a teacher used to teach the student from the bottom of his heart, and the teachers aim was only to see their students score the best in exams. Fees was not a subject of much concern that time. Teaching system and methods were the best..
But I see nowadays, the Era has totally changed. Thousands and Lakhs of coaching Institutes are opening up, which are in a motive of earning only money. They are in competition with each other. They have also being keeping 'Special Offers' and 'Early Birds Discount' and what not to attract students.
There are some classes, which have an excellent goodwill, because of the professional teachers they have.
But there are many classes and Professors, who just want to earn only money, Not bothering whether their student performs well or no.. They just get it done, when they receive their fees...
THIS IS NOT DONE!
What are ur views friends....?

Well you really can’t blame such learning institution, regardless of what they are offering be it knowledge or discounts, still it is business and the economy is tough so many would go on promotions just to earn a profit from their business.
Although I don’t favor any educational institution as a way of earning profit since schools should shoulder good quality education. They should somehow be concerned with how they brought up their students educationally, for it will matter to their school’s reputation. It’s also a good way for improvement if someone would complain about an institutions service so that they can improve most especially in their educational and knowledge to their students.

You are very right. And a very real problem is differentiating between the institutions that offer help that don't really help much and those that offer help and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure success. Unfortuantely, they all tend to get lumped together. It is necessary as the customer to look farther than the "Special Offers" and "Early Birds Discount" signs to find out what the true value is of the offer.

That is a great shame to hear that, when I was at school, we actually had teachers who would give their time for free for extra tuition, providing it was in the school lunch hour or after school! When I went to college, I got extra tuition by one of my tutors who didn't want paying, I actually bought them a present when I passed because it was down to them and putting themselves out.

Yes, I also experienced that before when I enrolled one private schools in the city. I know it was hard for my parents to send me in that kind of school but they said they were after the quality education of that institution. So I enrolled there, at first , the tuition is very high but the professors were so promising in terms of educating us so there's no problem but then as months passed by I've noticed they were getting lazy in teaching us. They even just distributed hand outs for a lesson and leave us. I told this situation with my parents and they didn't hesitate once to send me to another school and that is in public university.

It is sad but this a true realization that is happening nowadays. I don't really know who is to blame. People needs to be competitive in every way nowadays that they create ways to be so even if that will mean deceiving other people. I say this is one disadvantage of our generation.

I'm intriguied by the approach of the Integrative Institue of Nutrition's program. It offers so many things I agree with, and by correspondence, which I need. However, their credits are only transferrable to a single university for a degree program, and that's a residential program in New York State, far from my home and family. So when you complete IIN, you are certified as a Health Coach, not a nutritionist or dietitian. You still have to complete a university program and take certification board exams to achieve those two credentials. But if you go through most universities and just do the nutritionist or dietitian programs, they do not cover the alternative nutrition diets that IIN does, which I like about IIN. So, I'm caught in a quandary between university and IIN. Best wishes!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. I completely agree to your thoughts that coaching institutes have turned a good way of making quick money. Here in my city, one can find mushrooming of such institutes in every gully and that gives me a thought whether these institutes are really bothered about education and the future of the children or not. It is such a pathetic situation when u can see institutes competing with each other in terms of getting more number of children.
What say?

I personally hate these institutions as I am a teacher 100% of the time. It's sad because teachers who care are not compensated. The people who need the education the most desperately are often the ones who are in such situations that they cannot pay any extra expenses.
So it ends up that the people who do it for the money make a lot of money...and the ones who do it for the social benefits have to work extra jobs just to pay the rent!
