Ok, So im a junior in college right now majoring in Elementary education. When people find out that im studying to be a teacher, everyones response is "oh that isnt a real major". I'm so sick and tired of people thinking that being a teacher is childs play. Honestly, I think being a teacher is just as hard as any other jobs out there. It gets even harder when you're teaching in front of kids that doesnt want to learn. So who agrees with me that teachers need to get some more appreciation?

Even my boyfriend who is in his last year of medical school told me that teachers need more appreciation for what we have to do on a daily basis. Its not just surgeons like himself that make a difference in someones life, it is teachers too.

Yes, teachers need more appreciation.
As a full-time public school teacher for over twenty years, now retired, but continuing as a substitute teacher, I can say I feel better about myself as a teacher when I know the students, parents, administration, and community value the time, effort, and financial resources I spent getting my degree, qualifying as a teacher, and am now spending my time, effort, and financial resources teaching their children.
I am a proponent of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, the "whole village", spending time in the classroom, lunchroom, on the playground, in assemblies, and at school board meetings interacting with the children, teachers, and administrators to better understand what is going on in our schools. Perhaps, then, we can all "appreciate" each other more.

Teachers deserve more credit, i agree. Without teachers we would not have doctors or lawyers or the president for that matter, a teacher makes a profound impact in a childs life.

I appreciate teachers because I could not deal with that many mean *** little kids all day. I can barely deal with the three I have at home. Thank god for teachers.
