When Teachers' Day arrives, there is immense joy and excitement among teachers. Teachers' Day is celebrated every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a teacher himself.

Education should reach everyone, and teachers are the guiding light for children. In the past, teachers used to scold and punish students to make them understand, but now that approach has changed.

Now, teachers cannot even scold or punish students. So, who will correct them? Parents think their children should not be scolded or punished. But when they reach the 7th standard, there is no one to control them. At this age, teachers should treat students like friends, talk to them, and guide them with affection and trust.

But if that trust and affection are not received from parents at home, they will seek it outside. In this mobile era, every household has mobile phones, and even children have them. They use them to watch videos, browse, and share information without knowing what is good or bad.

They create new accounts on social media platforms, change their names, and interact with strangers. This ruins their student life. This is not the fault of teachers or the education system but the changing society. Development has brought about many changes, and the future of children is uncertain.

They are trapped in an invisible web, and we can see students who have been taught by teachers failing in life, lacking wisdom, and unable to secure jobs due to poor grades.
