RE: What makes the teaching profession, PROFESSIONAL?
As a long-time teacher, I agree with these points. But in the USA, at least, some people have the attitude that anyone can be a teacher, and that teachers have to be closely supervised for "quality control." IOW public school teachers are not considered to be professionals, but more like workers in a factory. Teacher burnout is a big problem in the USA, too. Many young teachers leave the profession within five years.
I wasn't aware of how things are going in USA schools, so thank you so much for your reply and teaching me something new today.
