I cringe for our future when I hear teachers - as a class of citizen - being ground down to the dirt by the bloodthirsty anger of know-nothing citizens, and the hucksterism of political hacks.
I taught at a university for 9 years and enjoyed respect for good work and criticism for less - as it should be. But I can tell you that there are many male primary school teachers in this country that are too often insulted and treated as if they were potential perverts - for example, they can't be in a room with a young student without someone else present. Many good people turn their backs on teaching when they realize that they are considered 'suspect', and are treated rudely and disrespectfully?
As daily life increasingly confirms, Americans have fallen head-over-heals in love with blatant ignorance, and thrill to the heady rush of being loud and criminal. It's leading to a terrific payoff for our children's future. Way to go !!!
