I found a cute movie this afternoon. It's called "Yesterday Once More". Yeah, despite that cheesy (and lack of originality) heading, it's pretty much worth watching. 
The story revolves around an honorary student who decides to cheat on an exam. She almost gotten caught by the teacher, but the wayward student took a blame for her. She doesn't know how to deal with that kind of person, so she offers him money as gratitude. Instead of taking the money, he asks her to do all of his homework. Yeah, we can call it blackmailing, but it just cracks the distance between their worlds. The more she's involve with him, she realizes that he's not as bad as the teacher label.
ugh, I love it when we were young we don't really care about getting drench
Some teachers made it hard for students to realize their dreams. Take the honorary student for example. She works so hard for her grade so that she'd be qualified to enter accounting field in university. That's the elite major her mother and teacher thought the best for her. However, she always being fond of astronomy. She keeps suppressing her ideal to fit everyone's expectation. 

At the same time, there's teacher who decides badly graded student will be trash for his whole life. Once a failure, always a failure. 

This kind of thought is dangerous, especially toward today's fragile generation. It worked when I was at school. We're experiencing an almost similar situation with nowadays students. But, we're tough. We didn't hang ourselves in the bedroom just because we failed the national exam. I even had the red 4 for my mathematics. I didn't even cry! You need colorful experience to laugh when you're older, right?  

But, you, kids! just because your teacher pinches you for skipping school's event. You told your parent to sue the teacher. WTF? I'm pretty sure kids are silly, but the parents are idiots.
can't you just give him a push, sir?

I hate it when adults compare me to someone's else and I was part of the top students!!!
Yes, there are some teachers who don't deserve respect. But, not because they discipline students. In my era, parents gave rattan stick to the teacher to be used to hit us when we make a mistake. You see what's happening there? Parents and teachers are cooperating. They share the same goal: educating the children.

Things are different now. Parents go crazy when teacher try to correct student's behavior. On the other hand, they won't take the blame for any juvenile delinquency or even crime done by the kids. Remember the case of bullying in a class next to teacher's room? You bet that's happening because the teacher doesn't want to get involve too much in student's life. It's in the same analogy when neighbors try to avoid getting into the guy next door's problem even though they heard the sound of broken plates. It's not easy to meddle other people's problem (except when you're single and everyone just takes your problem as a national issue).
