Answer 1

"The teacher is the fountain of all knowledge."

Well, I agree partially with this, in today’s time teachers are not fountain of knowledge. Students have option of e learning and regular classroom learning and most of the students are opting for e learning. Which does not has much interaction between student and children. And if a student has any question he will open his browser and will search it online. Student don’t need any teacher to answer their question they have internet , which provides them answers in one click.

What is the perception of the roles of teachers and students in your country?

For students options are available, if a student wants to go to regular school or college he has an choice, or if he wants to knowledge than he can sit back home and can gain it from online course. Well it all depends on both the parties, if a student goes to regular school then he will interact with other kids and he will be open to world and criticism. Well if he takes e learning he will sit back at home and he can feel lonely because he has no friends. But both the learning has its advantages and disadvantages. Regular learning develop confidence , while e learning gives online knowledge.

I am a regular learner, and this has helped in many ways I have self motivation, and I feel confident. And I have many friends. This has given me a strength and I know in what I am good at. Like I love writing know, so i am trying to learn writing, with my hard work and discipline. This is all because of regular school and college. Because it motivates children to know their potential.
