I had a Quarrel with my Spouse!! How are you going to be affected??

Ever heard of this sentence before? Well, I have been hearing this sentence right from my 10^th standard board exams. This is a very famous excuse given by teachers who participate in centralized valuation. The students are of course at the mercy of these valuators. They suffer for no reason of theirs.Teachers give the excuse that they have quarreled with their spouses or on the huge quantity of answer sheets corrected by them for this poor performance.

I feel when they are being respected and obeyed; they also have the duty to be responsible enough. They cannot let innocent students score poor marks or fail for no fault of theirs. This situation shows lack of commitment among the teachers who indulge in such excuses. If they have a fight with their spouse, it’s something which is really personal and that cannot be spilled into their professional lives. What if the same happens with a student? Suppose he has a fight with one of his friends and comes to the class. If the student hasn’t done the homework or doesn’t pay due respects to the teacher, is he left scot free? It rarely happens. Infact the student in most cases will be punished again for his failure.

I wouldn’t say that the teacher should be punished in a similar manner. For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. If the result is not going to be immediate, then they will somehow or the other going to suffer for their irresponsible behavior in the near future. Even they have sons and daughters who are going to appear for university exams. These smart teachers mustthink about what will happen to then if somebody else corrects their ward’s papers in the same manner.

To conclude, such silly excuses are not at all acceptable. Teachers must be responsible enough to give a good job when they go for university paper corrections. Personal problems and professional duties must be viewed separately.
