We were very much afraid...(of course, more than required) of our teachers. Why? Just because, they were very decent, persons of high morals, working with dedication, punctual and very strict . They were not givinre not taking tuitions at home or in tutorials for the sake of extra earning. But, the scene had changed. They are no more disciplined, moral, dedicated or honest to their duty. They do everything for the sake of money. In the districts and villages, there are only a few teachers who maintain some respect and honor this work. Most of the time, they come to the city on some work or the other and spend their time. They alienate themselves with some Association or Union and visit the Government offices and act like agents. How do you justify their action?

I think teachers should offer courses about credit and debt, since that's need to know information these days. Instead kids get credit cards and fall into debt because they don't understand. Also, if the internet is a big tool, there should be classes surrounding it. How to use search engines, how to do online research, and how to avoid troubles that can lead to outsiders getting their information.

I also think teachers should be allowed to teach topics that are banned from study these days. If kids want to know about something, and it is dangerous and have no one to ask, then they will get hurt. When I was a teen I would look up dangerous chemical recipes and take them into my chemistry teacher and ask him what they would do. A few we did in class as experiments, but more than several he warned me in regards to the dangerous experiments. Now you can't go to a teacher with that kind of information or you'd get suspended or arrested.

Where is this happening? Certainly not in the US. Here, they are underpaid, overworked, forced to buy supplies with their own money, and living in constant fear of "political correctness."

I do see this a lot teachers seem to care more about the money then the students.
