    I am also completely against corporal punishment to children either by teachers or parents.

    @shyamala1234
    My dear Syamala
    Most of the affluent parents these days think that bringing up their children is basically the responsibility of the teachers. They give their children total freedom at home. They pay substantial daily packet money to them and never follow up about what they do with that money. Quite a few of them turn drug addicts. Here is a sad case of an affluent student murdering his teacher in the open classroom in front of his classmates.
    How can parents completely wash their hands off their children? Do they realise that such abdication of their parental responsibility can lead to a lot of chaos?
    In the face of such risks faced by the teachers, celebrating Teachers Day appears a farce.

    Dear KP
    What is happening now is the reverse. The students have taken over that job. I read about students in US indiscriminately shooting at their schoolmates killing dozens. Such rowdy students are glorified in TV serials and movies. You will find this article interesting and illuminating.

    Dear Thyagu
    Thank you very much for your nice feedback.
    I am more a fan of Russel's contemporary Aldous Huxley. I have learned a lot from his writings.
    Your meeting with your teacher reminded me of a TV ad where a student makes tea for his old teacher. He feels so happy when his teacher tells him that he has not lost his expertise in making tea!
    By the way I also studied in Presidency
    Sri
