What’s wrong with “teacher”?

My dad told me it was a union thing. The idea was that to elevate the profession (and make room for higher dues), the union apes thought "EH-jiew-kay-tor" sounded more elevated than the term then (and still) in use, which is pronounced "TEE-chuh."

(Pssst! TEE-chuh's comin'!)

Hee! Love your reply and think you’re on to something there.

It reminds me of calling garbage men “sanitary engineers”.
