It just dawned on me that one of the great disservices some create deals with their negative remarks concerning teachers in front of their very own children. Sure, a student can have a legitimate concern or issue with a teacher but parents and the general public don't need to 'tar and feather' teachers.
It's appropriate to deal with a real problem, if it takes place, between your child and his teacher. That should be the focus and any spin or tarnishing, intentional or not, of the profession is simply wrong.
More to the point, nearly all parents and the public at large have had positive teachers in their lives. Perhaps this lone point ought to be more than enough to convince people to be positive about the impact of teachers and to encourage their children, should the discussion arise regarding careers, to look seriously at a life of teaching.
Great teachers DO make a profound difference!
