As a social worker you were not responsible for educating children. That's the key that makes teaching such a noble and unique profession. This fact was pointed out by another poster earlier in this communication by one that some deliberately overlook.[/quote]

This is such a weird line of reasoning. Social workers can be responsible for keeping children alive and safe. They can be responsible for keeping elderly people alive and safe. Disabled people alive and safe. They can be responsible for keeping people functional and capable of living in society. They can be responsible for helping people be successful.

Sanitation workers are responsible for making sure we don't all live in filth and die of disease. I mean, really, what jobs do you think people hold that aren't important on some level?

Ok, mine. I'm a scientist. I contribute to general knowledge, but I'm not working in areas of health and safety, so I'm worthless on your scale of importance. But most of the people I know are in jobs that contribute to the general welfare in some way. My DH works for the phone company, making sure you can call for help in emergencies. My mother's a teacher (apparently the most sacred of professions) and my father's an engineer making sure the bridges you drive over don't crumble beneath your car and kill you. Which one of them should get the most money?

How strange some of you people are.[/quote]

And without TEACHERS none of those professions would be possible.[/quote]

And without water sanitation engineers and workers, teachers wouldn't have anyone to teach. How weird do you want to get?[/quote]

You make absolutely no sense. But that's what happens when people would rather argue than discuss. Argue rather than accept truth.

Teachers affect ALL lives--the doctors, lawyers, engineers and sanitation workers. No other profession does that.[/quote]
