Look at things in an objective manner

I REFER to the letter “Why you must respect the teacher” (The Star, March 11). I would say the writer was spot on with his comments.

While having coffee in a shop recently, I overheard a group of people talking about the case of the mother who slapped her son’s teacher, which was reported in the media recently, “Mum jailed six months for slapping son’s teacher” (The Star, March 9). They all put the teacher in a bad light.
