Is Teaching a respected Profession in This country?

Clearly not!

In this Mammon-worshipping society respect is granted based mostly on income.

Teaching as we know it, is going to go the way of the Dodo bird. The internet explosion eliminates the need for massive facilities (baby sitting anyone?) , adminstration [sic], school lunches, etc.. One teacher can teach millions of kids how to read. One teacher can teach millions of children how to do arithmatic [sic]. The student of the future will log on from home - watch a video lesson and take a test. They will even be able to ask questions and get answers to their questions (an added bonus is that the answers will be correct!). It will be efficient, effectivie [sic], and far less costly.

........

Now we know how that turned out. Next?

After seeing the way the kids treat teachers in middle school and high school, my answer is no.

The PROBLEM is with the TEACHERS

Are they hiding under their desks
OR
Are they sending them to the principal’s office?

I WAS A TEACHER

Anyone who goes into the profession out of a burning need to be "respected" won't last too long.
