2] We demanded that teachers be treated as factory workers under Indian Factories Act, and we got it.
3] We insisted on smooth progression in career growth without any barriers or performance review. API is a misconstrued scale!
4] Misplaced sympathies with undeserving entrants have made it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.
4] Professionalism in teaching is often argued in terms of teaching and/or research competence, ignoring the intent of societal bonding and accountability of behaviour.
5] Such attitudes create an image that does not go well with the societal image of a teacher in Indian society.
6] We talk of the best HR practices for recruitment elsewhere but rarely apply in academics.
7] Eligibility norms need to be redefined. NET/SET is an absurd measure for recruitment. Some other norms need to be evolved. We have already diluted the value of doctoral degrees. How many of them are really "path-breaking" or socially relevant and useful in terms of applicability?

From: kdparanjpe@rediffmail.com
Dear Sir, Teaching will become a profession of choice when the society begins to respect
them and their work. Today, the teacher of the past is not a choice. He is reviled, nay
abused, most of the times exploited by the system,beaten up and punished for the wrong
acts of the students. As to social standing it is next to nil.
On the other side, teachers are seen to mislead students, spreading ill will, politicking
and victimizing students fostering favorites, decrying merit, encouraging dissidence,
etc. These acts bring shame and approbation from the very society that they seek to
serve.
A passionate teacher is thus left with a dilemma. Most turn away to find other
professions, others gravitate to the profession for the short term as a stopgap.
There is huge teacher shortage and the country seems to be oblivious to this problem.
Cheers
