THEREs a  lot  of  reasons.First  of all  the schools  are  not as safe. Look  at all  the  guns. TEACHERS are  not  treated  well.OR Payed  well.  Most  school systems  don't  have  proper funding. So  teacher  take moneys  out  of their  pockets, to buy supplies and things  4 the students.This  is not attractive to  teacher  who  spent  5+  years  in  college.And discipline is down.When  the discipline is down  so  are the scores. DISCIPLINE is part  of  learning.WHO  wants to teach a class they  abuse you?  AND  further  more  no respect  from  above. So  it ATTRACTS  people  who  barely made it through school. Or  people  just looking 4  a  job.JUST  A  JOB.  TEACHING  should  be  a  calling  in  life. I feel  it  no  longer  attracts  the  good educators  any more.

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.

it's called "proper education"

That and a 2,000-year tradition of revering scholarship. "Teacher", not "Sir",  is the most honorable title you can give someone in most of Asia.

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!

English teachers because of the nature of their occupation.

rich men by private tutors.  then Q then is who educated the tutors.  well, the tutor families also were educated so they could educate the rich men and they knew when they were young their job would be to educate the rich.  if you were good at what you did, you got into a richer family = prestige

Why not become a subtitute teacher? It would only be an on call job and would allow you to study at the same time? How about a teachers' aid. Same benefits as a sub.

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.

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

Since you posted your question in the Special Education area, may be a job teaching Special Education, i.e. teaching kids with disabilities.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nTenure does not guarantee a teacher (or professor) a job ... this is a misconception. If an educator has tenure, they can still lose their job, for CAUSE! What tenure really does, is protect an educator from arbitrary and caprecious dismissal. Teaching is a very political profession. \n\nRemember the teacher that you didn't like because you didn't get that "A"? Without tenure, that teacher, no matter how good he or she is, could lose their job, just because someone with the ability, could get them fired. \n\nTenure does not protect an educator's job if they commit a crime, if they assault a student, or anything else ... what it does mean, is that the school board must state a defendable reason why the teacher is being dismissed! Dismissal for a tenured teacher is generally accompanied by certificate action, where they will usually lose their right to teach forever!

Teachers don't get paid much, unless they are good enough and lucky enough to teach at a ritzy private academy. So not too many people want to put up with kids all day for chicken feed, so you have to put more and more kids into one classroom because there aren't enough teachers to go around, which makes the teaching job that much more difficult and that much more unpleasant until finally no one wants to be a teacher anymore and all our kids end up ignorant and poor and so they rob you for a living.

Another alternative to avoid the bureaucracy is to teach in a setting other than a public high school.  Private schools, community colleges, for profit schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc. do not require teaching credentials and respect real world experience.

Teachers are one of the lowest paid professionals in our society.  If you are thinking of going into teaching to make a small fortune, then you should probably start with a large one!  Most teachers pay for many of their classroom supplies out of their own pockets.  Don't go into the teaching field in the hopes of making a lot of money; it probably won't happen.  Do it because you love it and feel it is your calling, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll soon move on to greener pastures!  Good luck in whatever you do!!

It is prestigious academically.  Many lecturers also write books in their field of specialization.  The pay isn't the best because today's world just doesn't seem to care as much about knowledge as other areas (like sports).
