As a preschool teacher, we have lots to teach even the youngest children and our pay is a joke. Pretty soon, we'll be required to have a Bachelor's degree to work in childcare....and we have no hope for compensation. <br /><br />It doesn't help that we're too often seen as nothing more than glorified The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-12532588890995073842010-12-27T18:44:01.343-06:002010-12-27T18:44:01.343-06:00My daughter is a high school English teacher and s...My daughter is a high school English teacher and she is almost finished getting her Master's in English!

I taught Choral Music and Math in high school for several years --before going into fulltime churchwork in Christian Education. <br /><br />YES---teachers do matter.

Why do actors and athletes make so much? O.K., I can see athletes, because they put themselves in danger and can only work when they are very young. But actors? Comne on!!
