The response was that the mechanic is a professional who has to study and work to stay current with new automotive technology.

What a stupid comment. My wife is a teacher. A very dedicated one. She's certainly not in it for the money (it's not much) ... it's more of a calling. She is very educated and they do indeed have to stay on top of current methods AND technologies. She took 10 years off to stay home with our kids before going back to work. There was a LOT of prep she had to do and many things to learn that had changed over that 10 years.

And regarding this article ... it's spot on what she has had to deal with in her career. In the district she teaches in now, it's become a parents-in-control situation. Unfortunately, the school board and administrators have allowed this to happen.

Yes, Its all about career, as a college professor said, college,s are no longer for the purpose of education, they are for the improvement of the careers of the professors.
