Is teaching a profession ? I say no it's more of a community service OR bring up responsible future adults.
Teachers hold the most importance in guiding the Nation's youth, they have an oppurtunity to interact to the youth on day to day basic, and there is no doubt youth(16 - 21) is our future.
Just being qualified is not enuff, teachers of today should really get training on how to bring in benefits long term not only to person/family/town/state/counmtry but the world, subject irrespective.
Do you think teachers of today realize this and do beyond the curriculum ?
Are teachers of today treat thier teaching more then job?
Should the process / qualification to become a teacher change atleast at univ. level, to include 2-3 years of community service?
Teachers are spinal cord of tommorow's future, do you disagree?
