I am writing this piece to gather your views and spread awareness, please write your comments. As I feel that it is something followed undemocratically, without our choice almost at every public place the sitting style toilet (famously called western toilet) is being installed. We sometimes see shoe steps of the people on toilet seats on which we sit and some times the excretory (shit) is stuck on the seat or on water spray handle.

The teachers have the job of dealing with the maturing children, it is the toughest job as humans are not machines. The children whose  parents are educated, mostly do get lot of supervision and support at home. In this circumstance some part of guidance comes from parents and some part does come from school.
