Re: Teachers

@Stoppit: You're right about the university part, I mean there's hundreds of students in one class, how can we expect the lecturer to know us personally... but even at the school level, there is always a barrier between the teacher and the student, that doesn't seem to exist between pakistani teachers and students.
It could be a good thing or a bad thing... depends on what way one looks at it.

^I don't think so. I had a very good relationship with some of my school teachers. I even had one teacher who would come over for dinner after I left that school (it's considered slightly improper to do that whilst you are being taught).
You are also forgetting that British culture is a lot more reserved. Most teachers don't want that frankness with students and prefer to keep their personal lives to themselves.
