Respect has little to do with this. It's buttering up the families so they give with the cash.

That raise a point though... some of the teachers might actually enjoy washing the feet of their students. Hmm… sexual harassment is a bit over especially if it’s done in public.

Yuck. Well I'm from the USA (if you didn't know already..heheh)...plus parents would complain...I know someone is going to claim sexual harassment or something like that. Teachers are not allowed to lay their fingers on a student (even if it's not malicious act). Feet washing is too intimate and private affair...One either washes their own feet during a shower or go to a spa to get it done. And like I said, it would be totally weird here. Yeah..as Yein Jee mentioned, feet washing is not common in many cultures.

Well, if Jesus was doing it... it doesn't seem that bizarre for commoners to follow the practise as well. However, I would be laughing my ass off if my teachers were to wash my feet when I was a student... it's just so unimaginable. That’s something we rarely heard around the world isn’t it?

Most students here don't have any respect for their teacher; very disrespectful. It would be so weird to have your teacher wash your feet though. That’s something i’ll never hear about in the US.
