Remember The Days When Teachers Were Respected?

Remember when teachers were loved? When the teaching was a noble profession? When songs were written about teachers?

Interrupting the lovefest...

Teaching is no longer respected because that's what teachers have done to their profession. No differential pay, no merit pay, lifetime tenure, fight evaluation at every turn, be the leading lobbyists in the state to assure that all decisions in education are based on the interests of the vast majority of mediocre teachers, or worse, the interests of the union itself.

Teachers, via their unions, have absolutely insisted that they be treated like interchangeable parts in some 19th century assembly line of education.

Congrats, you're getting exactly the amount of respect as you deserve and have worked so hard for.

^^^ Gee Tommy, I would think you could at least backed up what you claim with sound reasoning instead of attacks. Oh, did you at least like the Van Halen video?

But I have some errands to run now. I will retort you in all its splendid glory when I come back. OK?
