[quote=YINDUFFY,321194]Teachers in the U.S. are not held in anywhere near the regard that Chinese hold for teachers. We have an expression - "Those that can- do. Those that can't - teach." I personally have known public school teachers and college teachers who are not particularly bright. College professors may be smart in one area they specialize in but they are not necessarily wise. Many teachers just teach from a textbook and load students with homework or reading assignments that the student could complete without the classes. As public school teachers salaries are paid by the residents of the school district , many residents do not want to pay anymore than they have to in taxes for their school system. Some resent the fact that from the end of June until the beginning of September there is no public school and the teachers are off that time as well as many school holidays. Plus the hours - schools in the U.S. generally run from 8AM to 3 PM and no classes on Saturday or in evenings. Many parents pay for their kids to go to private schools ( like I pay for my daughter to go to Catholic school) because the public schools are less effective. Teachers continually complain about their pay and school administrators get higher salaries.[/quote]
