"Teacher" should be the world's best recognized and paid profession.

Considering all the difficulties that exist and are related to this profession, I think the world should value this profession much more because without it, no other profession would exist. What do you think about it? Am I exaggerating?

It should. But it isn´t. And that´s why good teachers work at other better paid jobs.

I do agree that they should be paid a lot more because they are really doing hard work. But it would also be nice if there were more screening tests so only the serious ones will really become teachers

You are right mis @lady1993 , in our time some teacher only work for salary they don't care if their student is learning or not but they are untouchable because of their backup inside and above. But I agree teacher should be paid a lot, but the law must be revised first. What i mean is that only the salary should have an addition not also the teaching load.

I volunteer for my son's 2nd grade class. I watch the teacher teaching the class and it is NOT easy. These wonderful teachers are helping to shape our children's futures - it's an overwhelming task, but they sure know what they're doing. Indeed the world should value this profession - it's a very important profession!

It should be a high paying job like doctors . In some schools teacher have plenty of students in a class. Sometimes they spend their own money to decorate the classrooms and prepare teaching materials

As a teacher, I totally agree! Unfortunately our governor has been running an 8 year war against teachers. Working in this profession has been extremely difficult as parents are openly hostile to their children's teachers.
