[quote=Anonymous]Pay really is the issue. If pay were considerably higher teaching would be more appealing - I actually think it interests a lot of people but the salary is a nonstarter. The lack of respect is a major issue but if it becomes a higher paying profession I believe that would start to change. It would also likely then attract more men. A major issue with teaching is that it was one of the “pink collar professions” and of course anything that’s largely female is seen as inferior in our society. Although the schedule is one of the things that does currently attract people, moving to year round school might make teaching stand out less from other professional jobs. Teachers and students would still get time off but it would be more staggered. I can’t say I have any hope of this happening in the US. [/quote]
