Our ancestors’ve traditionally considered very important that students should admire and follow their teachers.
However, since the beginning of 21st century, the attitude toward teachers has been totally changed.
For example, the ministry of Education was allowed teachers to give physical punishment to student under particular regulalation.
But it’s now totally different due to some cases that happened with spread of cell phone.

Some students took a photo of the scene when teachers hit another student.
and then authority changed the bill to stop teachers from give physical punishment to students.

Do you think which is helpful for students?

First, I want to thank you for your blog, it really helps us too much to learn english.

my question is that could you please explain the difference between ” joking ” and ” kidding”?

my another question is that for example if I want to write an email to a Professor in my university, how should I start it? is that right saying” Dear Prof. X” or just ”Prof. X”?

thanks

The father, her husband, and the boy were very sorry about the matter and they have cried for long facing the tv., asking for the forgiveness of
his mather and wife. As it was such scandal the Goverment forgived the woman.

That´s the law here in this poor country. No father or mother can punish physically in any way, not a single slap or a hit on the botton only, their children because they can go to the jail if they are reported by the boy, girl, or whichever person who wants to do it.

So now, boys, girls, do what they wanted without any kind of punishment.
Even teachers can do nothing, they can´t say to the boys go out of the class if they are making fuss.
Teachers have been attacked by the fathers or the boys very often.

All is changing here, I don´t know if in a good or bad way. But I am not very happy as the middle is the vitue in my opinion.
