Recently I feel really happy, seeing that teachers are afraid of students. Now that education has got industrialized, we students have become consumers and teachers naturally service staff. We’re here to receive your service not to be criticized or maltreated. Have you ever heard of waiters/waitresses beating consumers? Only consumers may deliberately make things difficult for the waiters/waitresses in this world. We students now are God and teachers are naturally kind of slaves.

I once beat a teacher myself, to tell the truth. I was reading a novel in class and she wanted to stop me and tried to confiscate the book. I would not allow her to take it, of course. In the process I gave her a good kick. She cried and left the classroom. Later on the teacher in charge of the class told me to apologize to her and to write an article of self-criticism. When I refused to do so, he got angry and didn’t permit me to enter the classroom. Who gave him the right to forbid me from having classes? My dad came to the school and argued with the principal. The head teacher had no choice but to allow me to enter the classroom without making an apology to the teacher.

We students all like to hang out and play but teachers just don’t understand that. They always try to force us to learn the boring knowledge, saying it will come in handy someday. They ban us from doing this or that. How is it possible to maintain a good relationship with us students? The school doesn’t dare to publicize our exam results in fear of hurting our self-esteem. But the school usually makes known the total scores of the classes those teachers teach. Every semester, the school will ask us students to evaluate the teachers’ work. Those who often criticize or always have us do this or that will be given the lowest point.

Teachers want us to study hard for the purpose of entering a good college. To enter an ideal university seems to be the only life goal. Some teachers even say that we’ll regret it if we don’t study hard now. We’ll never feel sorry, to be frank. What is the point of entering a college if you can’t find a good job after graduation? How poor and helpless you teachers look when you ask us to do our lessons! The salary you earn, I bet, is even less than the money a migrant worker makes. That is the upshot of one who studies hard at school. Therefore just stop trying to fool us into following your steps. What we want is freedom, without any restrictions.

We are often educated by teachers that we should behave well and never violate any rules and laws. Will people like teachers be respected or successful in society? I doubt it! Our parents told us that we should be aggressive in this world, never afraid of anything or anybody. Here I want to thank the experts who made the Law on Protection of Minors. Thanks also go to those who understand us and help us students, who don’t want to study.
