One of my pet peeves is the reverence that is afforded to school teachers. Some of the biggest idiots I’ve known were teachers. Some were great too, so don’t get me wrong.
Every profession is important to me, from the top political position to the most menial. I respect people for doing a good job in whatever field they work. Singling out teachers, police, firemen et al is elitist to me. People choose their professions based on interest in the field, pay and benefits.
Yes some of these do face certain dangers, but they are provided monetary enhancements to compensate.
In today’s environment we see teachers indoctrinating children politically and sexually. We see them circumventing the parental influence at will. We see them relegating parents to sole role of breeder, incapable of making the real decisions that mold their children.
No, I’m not buying into the glory road for teachers.
