I don't agree with the premise of your question.

I highly doubt it.  Look at it this way.\n\nI do feel teachers that get more respect from students reward them as most of us do in our social dealing with others.  Show respect and and you'll get respect in turn.  Teachers are plain human not superhuman.  \n\nI had a teacher in high school that I showed a lot of respect for when the other students did not.  She offered more support and I know I got better grades as a result.

They have to deal with kids every day, which is stressful in itself.  They don't get paid that much, and their job is very important.  It doesn't make it any easier when their students act up.  I had some mean teachers when I was a kid, but I understand why some are like that now.  Of course, some people are just mean in general and shouldn't even be teaching!

MUST LOVE CHILDREN.  The most important factor in being a "good teacher" is to have a love for children and a great deal of patience.

for the money or just for something different. people often get sick of the same tired nurse doctor teacher routine

The differeences between teachers are not because they are young or old, but are related mostly to attitude and perspective.  I have known excellent teachers who had just graduated from college and excellent teachers who were ready to retire.  I have also known newly graduated teachers who were very bitter and sour and angry in their perspecitve and older teachers who were the same.  \n\nJudging or characterizing anyone, teacher or other, by their age is the same as judging someone by their color,  It is a form of prejudice.

Teachers are not the only jobs with stress.  I guess you could say policeman have a hard time changing from 'law enforcement mode' to 'family mode' . And what about lawyers who argue for a living,\n\nEach job has stress and  for the most part, I don't think teaching is more stressful then many other jobs - nurses, doctors, EMTs, paramedics, police - where you are dealing with life and death on an everyday basis.

it's also a very common degree in colleges and universities, especially among women.  It's supply and demand.  If you can fill all your teaching jobs at lower salaries, there's no reason to increase the salary.  If there comes a time where there's a shortage of teachers, then salaries will increase.

No but it is important to show respect.  My saying:  if you can't respect the person, then respect the position.  Reacting to her unprofessionalism could be costlier to you than you can imagine right now.  Instead, be respectful and the year will soon be over!\n\nYou'd be shocked at how nasty some teachers really are, but don't forget the nice ones!!  :)

I think that's correct. To attract good people in any profession; the pay has to be good. Lots of schools will want the best teachers, and will be prepared to pay a decent salary. In order to keep the good teachers, the current school will have to provide a good salary which matches the decent salary provided by the other school - hence the statement is proved true.

Well, just think of it this way. When your patient is on his or her death bed, or you know for a fact that they arent going to make it, you tend to take your work home with you, especially if you care about that patient. So it's not always easy being a nurse. Its fun to help, but you see a BUNCH of bad sh-t. As for a teacher, it depends on what grade you go into that you would get the most enjoyment from. But just think, as soon as they graduate to whatever grade, you're left with that perfectly ignorant bliss that they are making it someowhere in their new lives because of you.

Good teachers aren't just "good" because they know the subjects they teach.  An effective, good teacher is one who can get the material across to any student, motivate students, uplift and encourage students feeling down, diffuse conflicts between students, and above all make students feel good about themselves.\n\nTeachers who do this get their subject material across very well.  It is almost more important for teachers to be good at working with people (specifically youths).  Subject material can come AFTER that.

A balance of both. Teachers are there for a reason, as well as peers.

No, all teachers are paid on a step scale. But perhaps you heard that physics teachers earn more because they are in demand. For example, let's say we just hired an English teacher and we also just hired a science teacher. It is possible to hire the science teacher at a higher step on the scale (more money) while the English teacher might start on step 1. That would be an enticement to get the science teacher since other schools might also need him/her.

Your teachers should have covered that in school.  You have to pass Canada's exam.  But why would you want to work as a nurse up there?  The money is so much better in the states.

Teachers are paid based on the contract of their school. A teacher is paid MORE if they have more education so a doctor is paid more than a teacher with only a 4 year degree. Teachers are paid MORE the more years they have worked in the district. Some districts pay more than others. \n\nTeachers also get more money if they coach a sport, or are a club advisor.\n\nThe subject the teacher taught has NO bearing on the salary.

you know what, it is good for a teacher to praise his or her student because they can motivate there student to do well. However, its unethical for your teacher to show to her student that she or he has a favorite. Because it so unfair to the others who are much dedicated to their studies.
