PM's speech on Teacher's Day

PM mainly said to keep schools clean with the co-operation of students and teachers and he recommended to inculcate the habit of reading, mainly life stories of successful people in their respective fields.

What I didn't agree was he mentioning that media made a brohaha of kids cleaning toilets in some particular place in India. What I want him to know is that it is the intention which matters. What he needs to understand is with what intention was the cleaning done by the kids. Was it actually to clean the toilets so that schools can be kept clean or was that a deliberate work of some bad teachers ? And why didn't teachers participate to clean the school, why only kids?

He also mentioned about people from different fields who could come and give classes to the students, may be once in a week. Can that help in taking up the standard of teaching in India? What are you thinking Mr. PM ?

He also mentioned that kids, today, are not interested in becoming teachers, but he didn't come up with any solution for the same.

I could not find anything inspirational.

Illogical!
