Was your education like mine?? I had very perfect mathematics teachers all through my schooling years. From primary school, where the Baba won't let us rest cos he believed we were lazy and professional crammers, to secondary school ( na that one bad pass), insult tire me; back then I had the impression that my maths teachers would rule the world oh! Since they had crazy expectation from us. Seem they've all gone to oblivion, can't believe I've not seen any of them in the news.

They were not meant to rule the world but to educate and inspire those who will.

They were up by doing what they did and had completed their task. It is the seed they planted, the crops they tendered that will blossom and bear fruits which will be beneficial to the whole world.

But where the crops fail to justify the efforts of the teachers, then they are good for nothing and so should be cut off and left to die(some may actually not die but are suffering).
