The document discusses the changing relationship between students and teachers from ancient to modern times. In the ancient guru-shishya parampara system, teachers were highly respected and had authority over students, who showed obedience, discipline and gratitude. However, today commercialization of education has degraded the position of teachers while increasing students' ego. Busy schedules and a focus on exams over learning also weaken the relationship. The document explores factors contributing to and possible ways to improve the current student-teacher dynamic.
