Increasingly "pragmatic" Sayings like "one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father" (which is to say, a teacher deserves the same level of respect as one's own father) and "students take on responsibilities for their teachers" reflect traditional ideals of the feelings between teacher and student. But as the years pass, these feelings seem to be weakening.
越來越「務實」？過去「一日為師，終生為父」「有事弟子服其勞」的師生情誼，在一年年新生代的更替下也越來越淡。
