is that like a left handed compliment or what?
Teaching is an honorable profession and should be cherished.
I loved teaching. Matter of fact, I won a lot of awards teaching. Local, State, National, and the international tech teacher of the year. It was my health that made me quit early.
OK, explain to me why teaching should be a more "honorable" and "cherished" profession than, say, computer programming, accounting, office manager,fireman, or any other.
Teachers perform a job, just like any other, and are well compensated for it.
