Ironies of the Attitudes towards the Teaching Profession

I find it annoyingly ironic that the same people who complain about how lousy / uninspired / uncreative teachers are - are the same people who: -

1. dogmatically hold the "those who can't, teach" credo to heart;
2. view the teaching profession as an unexciting dead rut;
3. discourage their children from becoming teachers because it allegedly yield no ROI value;
4. daily badger and criticize teachers without offering help, assistance, advice, appreciation towards said teachers.
5. expect the teacher to take up all the slack in moulding young minds, without realizing that education isn't just confined to the classroom environment.


You want brilliant teachers for your children? Then stop this caveman-like mentality. Just stop it.
