00:05Schools in India have this problem of having accidental teachers. Most teachers who come
00:09and teach, they have joined the teaching not because they enjoy it, but because it pays for
00:16them. It's a sad situation. And you know what would come out of it. Not just that the teacher
00:22and his family and the environment at his home would be a dark one. So many students,
00:29any student that this teacher is now going to touch is going to be scarred. Though I
00:34would want to insist that the scars are a choice, especially after you turn adult, but
00:40the practical reality is that the scars remain. When you see teachers shouting at
00:47students, what would you? We need a society where the best ones would be teachers. If in
00:55schools teachers are shouting at students and showing them down and just disrobing
01:01them psychologically, that tells something about the teachers and a lot about that society
01:08the teachers come from, that society is sending its best ones probably to B schools. And for
01:17that they earn more money. Sorry, I'm being personal. No, but that's it. Just that I want to point
01:26it out that even after emerging from a B school, you can still choose to be a teacher.
01:57Yes, you can still choose to be a teacher.
