I certainly cannot accept this phrase being said to anybody no matter how mad you are at that time. Seriously, who are you to make a statement like that to somebody? I believe no one, I repeat, no one, has the right to label someone else as an IDIOT.
I made this post because I encountered one situation in one particular school where I saw a teacher was scolding his pupil in the staff room. And the moment I heard the phrase “You are an idiot”, my heart rate increase rapidly, as if I was the one being scolded like that. My ears were burning and my hands were shaking. But, of course I did not go and punch the teacher, but I hope I did..urgh, I really despise that kind of teacher.
Here’s a note to that kind of teacher in case you fall in that category:
No matter how dumb you think your pupils/students are, if they are not able to understand what you’re teaching, you should remember, it might be your fault. It’s your job to teach, and it’s not their job to understand if you do not know how to teach. I’ve been a student for more than 15 years, and now, I, myself is a teacher. What I learn during that time is that, good compassionate teachers, who know how to teach, will never call their students idiots.
It’s because:
1. They never think that their students are dumb
2. They know their job, which is to teach! If their students fail, they feel as if they fail too.
Thus, teachers who have been calling their students idiots are actually mocking at themselves.period.

Hmm..I first thought that the situation happened in a foreign land where our culture is far apart with them.
Strange that it happened here..where culture and nice languange is foremost in many things.
Calling people idiot, no matter it is in a school, an office or anywhere else is to me a violation of ethics.
Just how good we are to call others idiots, right?
yeah, exactly, right? haish
