[quote=LEONARDO,321313]>>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."<< Yinduffy, is this a popular belief held by the average Americans? Is it safe for me to say that a great majority of Americans make light of teachers. Teaching is not considered to be a decent job in USA. Do you think that the teachers in USA are well paid? >>teachers are perceived as having a cushy job; and too many parents have tended to hnd over everything about bringing up kids to the teachers and only get involved to complain. Teachers have real difficulty with discipline and discipline in the home is often very lax, and they are not permitted to apply much punishment.<< Apault, as I have said in the above, the same scenario happens to China. That's part of teachers' occupational stress. In terms of discipline or punishment, have you ever been allowed to spank your students in China? I guess that the school authority never give you the permission to apply much punishment. Ho ho! >>The current issue in the State of NSW is how teachers are allocated to schools. In the past the school principals had little say...Now it is proposed to allow teachers to apply to schools and for principles to select which staff they want.<< Now, the alllocation of teachers in China is heading towards this way.[/quote]
