(3,284 posts)Or maybe the reformers are right, after all.
Every profession has 1 or 2% who don't belong, and teachers are no different.
So let's go after ALL of 'em.
I say,
Why condemn the whole profession for 1 to 2%, and NOT condemn Lawyers, Doctors,
fund managers, policemen, construction workers, pastors and ministers, Insurance Reps,
web site managers, masseurs, billionaires and CEOs, etc etc etc
All those jobs deal with people in important ways, and some have far more power than teachers do.
ALL these jobs need to be regulated just like teaching, and their members fired EASILY,
whenever the public desires,
even if they are (unlike teachers) powerful and wealthy.
Society needs to be protected from many many others besides teachers.
Job security just encourages bad behavior. Surely in YOUR profession as well (gotta' admit it).
If no one has job security, then no one will be harmed by members of any profession,
including those malevolent, greedy teachers.
