Dear president How will you bring out a change in the minds of lazy and lethargic teachers.Teachers are working as couples of the same village or town.Two D.As and two H.R.A.s going to the same home.When teachers earn more they start their leva-devi buisiness.They use the students for collecting the interest.Any visiting officer will be fooled as what the parents want is only a pass under the 20 point programme. Who taught the students to handle mobile phones?They learn only by themselves.Just like that poor students SUFFER a lot and learn to earn.
