Debate - Can tutor Really replace teacher?

"A teacher is a friend, philosopher and guide", said by one of the foreign Educationist and Vedas described a Teacher next to Almighty omnipotent God. Respected Principal, reverent judges, worthy teachers and all my dear friends, a very cheerful morning to all. Today I am going to concrete my views on the topic *Can tutors replace teacher?*  And I will speak against the motion.

August audience, it is a well known insurmountable fact that a student is just like a ship without compass in the absence of a good and efficient teacher. And it is a Teacher who always tend to take a lot of pain, insult and burdon only because she/he want their pupil to be the shining stars of zenith. Their endeavours show their magnetic and marvellous personality and we can't replace them with tutors as tutors are confined with the syllabi only.  They tend to teach only a limited number of things which only deals with their cognitive domain where on the other end, teachers deal with cognitive, affective and psycho motor domain. They develop us to be a complete and exact human being.

It is observed that many a time people see the achievements of teachers on the basis of their academic achievements in grades but there are very few who look at their high level of character and these things can only be seen in teachers not in tutors.

Teachers are having a committed set of approach and they love their professon from the bottom of their heart where on the other hand tutors' ultimate concern is money.

Those who think that a tutor can guide their students appropriately also tend to adopt a confine perspective as they aren't aware about child psychology and pedagogy. They are just a master in their own area of subject matter. Except it they don't require any specific professional qualification.

Moreover, a tutor is not having a compassionate heart which is the utmost requirement for the life long learning.

Thus it is quite crystal clear to us that a Teacher can't be replaced with a tutor because teacher is a friend, philosopher and guide on the other hand a tutor is just a commercial agent who only want to earn the maximum profit.

Thank you
