The community's perception about teachers.

Maybe, but for me, elementary teachers should be intelligent because they are the foundation of education of a child. Teachers of college should not be necessarily intelligent because college/university students can understand the lesson of their own not like elementary pupils. I'm sorry but I am agree with your statement that it doesn't needs much brains to teach elementary/highschool students. Thank you for your response.

Raymo, you insult teachers. You mean to tell me it doesn't take brains to teach elementary and high school? You are obviously not the brighest crayon in the box. Most college teachers have the same degrees as elementary and high school teachers, as primary and secondary educators are encouraged to get Master's degrees, and freshman and sophomore level college teachers usually only have a Master's Degree. And just because one has that degree or a higher one, doesn't make that person more intelligent. It simply makes them have different desires from those who do not have a graduate degree. I'm sure your comment was very insulting to all teachers, because it was to me.

ATTENTION: CORRECTION POH! For me, elementary teachers should be intellligent because they are the foundation of education of a child. Teachers of college/univertisity are not necessarily intelligent because students of this level can understand the lesson of their own not like elementary pupils. I'm sorry but I'm NOT agree with your statement that it doesn't need much brains to teach elementary/high school students.

I disagree that teaching doesn't take intelligence. That's a pretty...unintelligent statement. But I do agree that it is a calling.
