I have often wondered why the teaching profession is so unpopular these days. Facts show that if you just visit some of the Teacher Training Colleges, you will see that the number of students who are interested in devoting their lives to teaching has decrease considerably ans so has the graduate rate a t the end of every academic year. At this pace, in fifty years from now, teachers will either become extinct or be in danger of estinction.
The answers, I believe, lies in society as a whole. Why is it that some time ago our grandparents highly respected teachers because they believed they were the ones who would help their children develop the personal, social and academic skills they needed to succeed in life? What has happened to our society since then that we have become no more than nannies who look after children, entertain them, keep them busy and teach them a couple of things here and there among all the trivial things we are now asked to do? Schools have become warehouses where children are dumped early in the morning and withdrawn in the afternoon. Most parents no longer educate their children, they expect others to do the job for them and if the product of that process is not good enough, it is always easier to see, analyse and judge others than to actually go over one's own decisions, revise them and spot where they went wrong...

That's pretty interesting, I totally agree qith you Chio. Definitely parents have to consious about their job and that they have an important role in this country they are teaching the men and women of future and they should have a look of what they are doing.
I have the conviction there must exist a team between partners and teachers, as you were saying, in order to make the children afford the future and giving them the opportunity of doing it.
