5.It does not mean multimedia can replace teacher;at no point of time can a teacher be replaced.

7.Teachers should be honest in their answers;if they do not know the answer, they should admit and inform that he/she shall check and inform.Children shall respect you more for it.

Not only is US, in India as well.Performance of institutions has come down because of :
-Stress is more on information than knowledge
-Admitting children in educational institution at a very early age, depriving them of childhood.
-Overloading of information
-importance to width of information and not depth.
-no stress on moral values
-decrying memorization and asking children to be original in areas where one can not be original at the early age, that is understanding basic concepts.
-too much distraction in terms of extracurricular activities
-exposure to TV,Video games
-lack of parental control
-lack of harmonious family
-stress on ranks , not on proficiency
-fixing of goals in life at an early age.
-uncommitted, non-dedicated teachers
Unless these anomalies are corrected educational institutions shall go down the hill further.
