The document discusses reasons why students may not respect teachers. It suggests that teachers need to understand students' needs, use effective teaching techniques, and serve as role models. When teachers fail to provide proper instruction or discipline, it can cause students to lose respect. The relationship between teachers and parents has also changed, with parents now more likely to side with their children over teachers. Modern access to information may contribute to students feeling less dependent on teachers as the sole source of knowledge.

1. WHY TEACHER NOT RESPECTED BY PUPILS?
Since of late, the student discipline problems are often debated. After one case, another
case arose. Current problems are the problems of students do not respect teachers. The
attitude of the students then and now is much different as "heaven and earth". The question is
why this problem exists now?
Students today do not respect teachers because most teachers do not understand the
needs of the learners themselves. Sometimes we hear the students are not able to respect their
teachers, because teachers could not ignore what they want. For example, teachers could not
careless about the subject that they do not understand, the teacher did not care
about marks or test results that they follow, the teacher being no good instruction and effective,
the teacher cannot answer those question well, teacher always have a job
outside classroom, and much more to be questioned. These things belong to the needs of
students and teachers should be more aware of the problem.
In this case, sometimes teachers are also to blame. Teachers also can be no respect for
the students if they have fines or penalties that are too heavy even for a slight offense
committed. For instance, slapped or kicked teachers of students who just throw garbage in the
classroom. This matter should be prefaced with a reprimand and the warning to the
student first. If students making noise in class, the teacher can reprimand the member
effectively, or even ask the student to apologize or mistakes. Caning can be done
on heavy offense or offenses committed over and over. Teachers themselves are considered

2. not to respect the students if they did not go to class to teach, but to chat with colleagues or use
the phone too long. At this time the student teacher is critical in assessing whether they need
to respect the teachers who too often ignore their class or otherwise.
Teachers and teaching are important aspects of teaching and learning. Good teachers
can change student’s perception of a subject. If a teacher failed to provide effective instruction,
they will easily get bored in class and started behaving like chat does not respect teachers and
disrupt classes. To change the perceptions of students, teachers need to play the role of the
student's love and more attention in class teaching. Therefore, teachers should always be
proactive and take the initiative to try and increase their skills and produce effective teaching
techniques to attract students, and at the same time meet the needs of the syllabus. According
to Prettyman(1996), creativity is an important teacher in teaching and learning. Deep interest
and enthusiasm in the teachers help students accelerate the process of appreciation. For
example, teachers should not think to learn a subject is a simple matter and let the students
read and understand it. Teachers must have the ability to attract students to comprehend the
events that students can really feel an event. Guidance and encouragement from teachers to
students is important so that students can participate in classroom activities. This view is also
suggested by Mike, who stated that: "... teachers are the decisive element in the
classroom. Teachers posses the power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. Teachers can
be an instrument of torture to Inspiration or a child's Motivation to learn ``.Teachers should use
various techniques to motivate students while teaching and learning. Teachers play a role as a
"model student" in class. Students are easily controlled if teachers know how to choose
appropriate activities, conduct two-way teaching and learning, understanding the needs of the
individuals in the class and the strengthening of activities based on student ability. According to
(Charles, 1985) teachers should help students in the development of meaningful learning. This

3. is consistent with Gardner (1986) who argues that students have multiple intelligences that need
to be developed by teachers and practiced by the students.
In the old days parents so close relationship with teachers. They always send
"greetings". Now in this modern age, this condition no longer exists. In the past, parents always
said the teacher was in the right side if they penalize and spank their children. At the present
time the situation is much different. Instead of teachers who are blamed if they fine and caning
students. For parents today, they are more favourable to their children and blame the
teachers. Parents are now more pampering in the days of our children. If there are effects of
red-scratches and abrasions on the body of children, they will immediately attack the school
without checking first.
Growth factors also influence the thinking of the students now. In the past the teacher is
the only source of knowledge compared with modern times this sophisticated. Currently
students can obtain knowledge from other sources. Knowledge can be acquired from various
sources such as from newspapers, television and the latest one is through the internet. So it's
no surprise that at the present time the students about respect for the teachers at school. Some
of them are of the opinion that they are more knowledgeable than the teachers. For this reason
respect for teachers now reduced.
Teachers are increasingly shaky position in today's society is one cause. In the past the
teacher is a profession that is respected by the community. If there is any event in a village
teachers were playing a major role. Former teachers will sit in the front row and hold important

4. positions in the village. Times have changed. At this time places the teacher in the past have
been taken over by corporate leaders, headman and politicians. This is why respect for the
teachers to be somewhat less.
Teaching profession is a noble profession. But now, is as if viewed as a second
choice. Positions of teachers in society need to be restored flat. In this way alone can bring
awareness to the students to return to respect the teachers.
