The grist in the tale to tell!

It is sad to see that the position of a teacher is so repugnant to a student these days but then again, such reactions are inevitable given the facts that more and more stories of teacher mistreatment are coming to light. With the death of Rinky, a 15 year old student who was hit on the head by her teacher for having refused personal tuition, it does bring into focus the line that no teacher should cross. Are we so lacking good quality teachers that we can get only murderers and rapists to apply for that esteemed position?
