The educators?

I was telling my friend,
“People are punished for vandalism against public property. What about the abuse of the intellectual mind/growth of the students who are trusted under their care?”

I mean, these students invest their time, effort, money and most important, their YOUTH to dedicate themselves to the crucial transformation of intellectual maturity in colleges/ universities. So, what happens if the EMPLOYED key players of that process, the EDUCATORS don’t live up to their job description?

Precious resource is invested into education; by the government, private bodies, parents, and students. So, what is the penalty of any form of misuse of those resources?

For students, it’s obvious. A lifetime trauma of having a bad grade stipulated in your resume, your worth of employability, but what about the other side of the game? The educators?

We have clear ethical guidelines for doctors and lawyers. If they fail to perform according to their profession expectation, if their patients or clients feel that they didn’t receive their service which was entitled to them, they could so easily sue.
Disciplinary lawsuit will take place. No controversial questions about it.

What about the teachers themselves? Is their noble profession not liable to such responsibilities? No doubt, it’s a tough job. But please explain which respectable profession in this modern day is ever deemed to be easy?
