Education is a tripod with school, student and parent. If the situation of one's absence, education becomes meaningless since the tripod lose the ability of standing. In Turkey, especially during the last decade, teachers have been continiously kept under pressure, checked and complained about by the school administrations, parents and communities' gossip mechanism. There are request boxes for the students in order to watch and learn about their requests and complains about their teachers but sometimes some students may write defamations just because they don't like the teachers or they are away from the lessons and rules.
The condition mentioned above, effects the teachers' productivity negatively. Mostly teachers lose their aspiration on teaching and using fruitful approaches and they become unwilling and frustrated educators which is not preferable in a healthy education. In adition, even if teachers apply very useful tecniques and approaches, they may decide to change their methods of teaching. This most probably effect the students who are really aware of and interested in the subjects.
Of course the critiques and complains are constructive if they are real but on the other hand, in the situation of false directions, they are so harmful and destructive for the mental and social position of teachers. If there is failure in reaching the goals and targets, teachers are the direct collocuters and responsible individuals; not students or parents. That's, it is a hard job to teach and pay attention at the same time. Theachers are the scapegoats.
