Current teachers - are they competent??

Last week's Neeya Naana had a good topic on current teachers and their competency... interestingly its between the students Vs teachers. thank god they dint had parents Vs teachers that would not have brought this topic to much detail... Both the sides were blaming each other & I think teachers had more valid points n reasons.. and we know what really happens in most of the classes. I would not save that teachers are not competent but I feel the in whole arnd 10-30% of teachers are not competent in subject matters.

It was sad that teachers were not updating themselves with information & they struggled when asked which Indian won the booker award.. Gopinath had the student realized for his words.. when he said "thats their job" which is really offending the teachers.. It was a really a good topic to speak on..
