Teachers and elections
Some teachers have raised their voices against EC's step to bar them from joining local government election. I have something to say about the subtle, crucial matter.
I got my academic education from a rural high school and downtown college. From the very beginning of my academic life to the end, I experienced something bitter. Some teachers were indifferent to their duties to the institution; rather they were very busy to please the affiliated local and political leaders in the guise of social activities. Consequently, the respected teachers were divided in groups in supporting local or national parties, least caring for their main job. They did it in a way as if the educational institution was a political ground for them.
And the victims of politics among the teachers were the students. These odds, as far I experienced, go from the primary level to the university level. So, I think what the EC has done is quite right.
