In the past the teachers had not too many ways of transferring knowledge like today. Some of us still long for those times when teacher was a person with certain authority and strenght. Everything was simple and straight forward. The old fashion way of teacher talking and students listen, make notes and process lecture at their home is missed by older generations.
At that time teaching as a trade was way much respected than today. Maybe even because it was much harder to become teacher at that time than today.
Present methods of teaching differ from old ones in a modern and technological way. Multimedia presentations, videos, networked computers improve the way students are presented with the lectures. New approach toward the student are being developed and educational system evolves more and more.
But the reality is harsh!
Even with the best technologies and the best methods the true responsibility is on the teacher to relay the message to student.
The teacher was and always will be the first and most important pillar of education system.

Teacher status
In these days it is a really hard duty to be a ^good teacher^. The relationship teacher-student is a special bond that forms and shapes both sides.
Certain events can be so stressful so they make teacher ask himself ^ was it a right call to be a teacher^. The special bond between teacher and a student has been evolving in a way that no one expected. Less and less respect is being shown to the teachers and on the other hand teachers are being less educated and prepared for their classes-subjects.
East European countries have a huge problem with, ^ not enough educated^ teachers.
It is not just the approach and a way of teaching it is also the basic and formal knowledge teachers need to have. Being a teacher is a complex duty and it asks for a complete personality and devotions.
Countries should have more control in the process of selection and choosing the right teacher for a right subject but also to try to regain respect and social status that teachers deserve to have.

David Pinto Theory
David Pinto theory is the most appealing to me. Simple and unique!
It consists out of three steps which are applicable in anytime, anywhere. But it takes a lot of understanding and a lot of patience start implementing this method.
-Learning our own norms and values can be an easy part of the road.
-But learning someone else’s norms, values and tradition is a harder part.
Are we willing to learn and to truly commit ourselves to mutual understandings?
-Finally acting toward other side with subjective solutions that fits the best for all named differences.
P.S.
Simple always unique and a method on a very personal level
