It is...The teaching profession is hardly respected. It is due to the amount of time given to us and our pay scale. Many people frown on the teaching profession, but not understanding we shape the minds of the youth. We inspire students to become whatever they desire. It does not matter what grade we teach. We tell students to set goals and dream. Over the past couple of years we have been receive bad publicist. Many bad teachers are making the field look very unprofessional and unsafe. We contribution comes from the media. It is always the bad outshining the good in the media. I did an outreach program with a hospital and was interviewed by news station. I was on T.V., but at the end of the news for only about 20 seconds. It was not breaking new or a headline. This is a shame when teacher are doing positive things in education and it hardly receive any air play. In order to receive respect we must demand the respect. Stand up to policies and budgets cuts. What will happen if all the teachers decided not to go to work or strike? Schools will shut down and if they do not shut down, their standardized testing will suffer. The Way teachers are treated and the profession is heading we are going to have many students not wanting to pursue a career in teaching.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728287191638952242noreply@blogger.com
