Everybody has passed!

Well now, talking about education... Well, I think most of you agree that education is seen as a good business, more than ever. Commercial practices may affect education ideologies, though. For example, there is this typical commercial persuasive idea: “The customer is always right” that forces sellers to do anything as long as they keep the customer and consequently the company’s wealth. In the same way, there’s another commercial persuasion that forces teachers to do anything as long as they keep the student customer and consequently the educational company’s wealth. This persuasive idea is: “No student should fail the school year”, otherwise, it is the teacher who is incompetent. My question is how might it be possible to eliminate both tyrant teachers and eager for money directors, tyrants of education?  Complicated, isn’t it?

  1. I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM ISNT THE TEACHERS OR STUDENTS I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE SOCIETY, BEACUSE WE CREATED AN IDEOLOGY THAT THE TEACHER IS LIKE AN OGRE, BUT ITS FOR THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIES, EVERYBODY NOWS THAT THE CUTE TEACHER IS THE TEACHER THAT DONT TEACH, AND ONLY DO GAMES IN CLASS, BEACUSE WHEN THEY REQUIRED OUR MORE EFFORT, WE SEE THEM LIKE A MONSTER.
    I THINK THAT ALWAYS WE NEED A STRICT TEACHER, AND WE LEARN MORE WHEN THE TEACHER PUT SOME ORDER IN THE CLASS, I THINK THAT ITS UNFAIR WHEN I STUDY A LOT AND MY CLASSMATES ONLY COPY I FEEL DISSAPOINTED.
    ALSO I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE DO TO THE STUDIES A BUSSINESS IS SO BAD, BECAUSE THEY ONLY GO TO GIVE CLASS FOR MONEY NO FOR VOCATION.
    NO EXTREME IS GOOD.
