These days we often come across this question. Many a times its shocking to hear the standards assigned by teachers in general regarding students. An excellent student is the one who is very silent; always polite; always into learning; and so on........
It's really shocking to say that at each stage what we expect from students are stereotyped behaviour which is totally impossible at such a young age.
Youth is a time of disapproval of rules and rebelliousness all rolled into one. It's like the old dictum......there's a season for flowering; a season for bearing fruits; yet another for their ripening.
The same biological transitions are undergone among us humans too. So immediately after flowering, how could we expect the flowers to become ripened fruits without them passing through the hilarious stages of bitterness and sourness !!!
We without compromise expect youngsters who pass by their adolescence to act, think and behave like very matured individuals....... (oops....! are there any.....? )
Felt very sorry for the high disciplinarian teachers and their pettiness regarding the imperfections of the students who were infact only in their adolescence !
