I disagree gingermeggs, a teacher has to automatically be given respect. If I as a student disrespect a teacher because they have yet to earn my respect, wel, that's just circular, and retarded logic. Usually people who say such things are arrogant and feel they need respect no one, because they are better then most everyone else, as you seem. No, your logic is flawed. Respect us because we are a teacher, the Chinese teachers get it, so should we.
