In general, the mistakes of the employees of the public sector are more costly than of business, because businessmen risk more of their own than of the wider public. However, the personal responsibility stands more in the private sector, as we all know, than in the public sector. Teachers' mistakes are for the future of all - public and private sector employers and employees, but here You have to look to all sides - not only knowledge formation or acquiring social skills for the pupils, but also to such problem as overloading of the pupils has to be taken into account, as health, and mental health problems especially in overloading structure have to be taken seriously from the side of the teachers.

I agree with Arvydas Guogis , but would add that scientific 'mistakes' can be very costly. For example, the since-debunked article on autism & the MMR vaccine stimulated vaccine resistance which ultimately actually led to deaths.

Thank you Arvydas and Allen for contributions.

I think we should be careful not to conflate the parenting mistakes with mistakes of teachers. If for instance, a teacher misrepresents a fact, that is relatively easy to correct. I believe what we see as societal dysfunction such as high crime rates and social ills is largely the result of dysfunctional families and failure in parenting- an unpalatable truth to swallow.

Yes Dr. Octavia, parental mistakes contributing to social mess.

Thanks Dr. Tripathi, teachers are agents of change.

Any type of mistakes or discrepancy at any recognised level in the society I think should not be entertained. Mistakes may be continued up-to a long period generation after generation which is not good for society.

Thank you.

Thanks Kinjal, mistakes of human.

I think so, because they affect people in training.

Thanks Dr. Antonio for the contribution.

I think yes.

I think yes.

Thanks Dr. Isam and Dr. Ighalo for your contributions

Yes it is correct. the mistake of teacher can be affected on students in bad way

Thanks Dr. Gholamreza

Who says teachers are angels, they can't make mistakes?

Teachers are human but we should be principled to help our learners. Prof. Nidhal

I would say no, because in terms of the examples you give, there is a much smaller and less direct effect, and students have time to self-correct and to get information from other sources. We cannot say that a patient died or an innocent person ended up in prison because the high school teacher didn't do their job well enough.

Thanks Jonathan for the contribution. Some mistakes due to society set up.

Dear Dr Bruce Robin Nyamweha , This is a thought provoking and a sensible question. My point of view is that

Teaching is considered as noble profession. - Yes it is. If a doctor/others make mistake they may harm (kill) a person. But if a teachers teaches unethical things, violence, all bad things....he/she not only harms the Child but Generations and generations get affected. Even for the current generation, he may become a violent person and commit crimes harming the society.

I think teaching right things (especially, the kinder-garden, primary- teachers) to the young, unadulterated mind - is important.

Warm regards Yoganandan G

Thanks Dr. Yoganandan for valuable contributions.

Maybe!

Thanks Dr. Carine

They may not be as costly as those of doctors, in the short term perspective. However, they might damage the minds of students and break their trust. This may be on a par with a doctor's mistake.

Thank you Dr. Manana. Doctors deal with delicate issue that is Life.

I too agree with the views expressed by Dr Yoganandan and Dr Manana

Thank you Dr. Geddada for your contribution.

May Be

I think no...

Thank you Dr. Syed and Silvia for your contribution.

Yes, if you believe that teachers are responsible for shaping molding their students' character and shaping their futures...

Thanks Dr. Zane for your contribution.

Can we really attribute individual mistakes as a mistake of teachers?

Thank you Dr. Okeke. No individual is mentioned in the discussion.

Mistakes of teachers are the worst because teachers produce other professionals.

Well, it make look as though a teacher's mistake is more costly since it will have multiplying effect on the students. Nonetheless, mistake made at any level can have serious effect depending on the gravity.

Thank you Dr. Obinwanne and Dr. Ebhohimhen for your contributions.
