Recently, discussions on guaranteeing political rights for teachers have been gaining momentum. However, within the education sector, another worrisome atmosphere is being sensed. It is the phenomenon of 'polititutor'. This term refers to some teachers who are so engrossed in political success that they forget their duties as educators, revealing a serious issue that undermines the trust of the educational community.

The polititutor phenomenon manifests in various ways. In front of students, they prioritize instilling specific ideologies over ensuring the right to education or moral education, creating conflicts by suppressing different opinions among fellow teachers or parents. They even turn parental complaints or criticisms into targets of coercion and pressure, sometimes pushing aside actual teaching or curriculum operations. There are even instances where they overlook or discriminate against socially vulnerable groups.

The problem is that such behavior does not just end as individual misconduct. Some teachers' political involvement is being perceived as a natural exercise of their rights, leading to criticism even against the argument that all teachers should be guaranteed political rights as citizens. Ultimately, the polititutor phenomenon acts as a significant obstacle in garnering societal consensus on guaranteeing political rights for teachers.

Therefore, in order for teachers' demands for rights to gain legitimate support, there is a clear need to draw a line against the polititutor phenomenon. Engaging solely in political activities while neglecting the essence of education must be firmly rejected and cast aside by the teacher community. Only then can it be convincingly communicated to society that guaranteeing political rights for teachers is not for the individual benefit of teachers but for the restoration of the democracy and trust within the educational community.

The authority and responsibilities of teachers survive only within the dedication to education and the trust of students and parents. If the shadow of polititutor is not removed, discussions on teachers' political rights will ultimately end up as empty echoes.
