Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teacher were more appreciated and valued by society in the past than they were nowadays. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Teachers
are a vital part of society because they have the responsibility to educate the population. I think that, over the years, people appreciate
teachers
less than before. I feel
this
way for two reasons that I will explain in detail below. The
first
point I would like to make is that not many people have the desire to pursue a major related to teaching.
This
is because the majority of
teachers
don'
t
have a good salary. As a consequence, the quality of education has decreased. Let me illustrate
this
with an example, in my country, there are a lot of protests organized by
teachers
. The main complaint they have is the low salary earned.

second
thought I would like to point out is that before
teachers
were seen as professionals with the role of teaching in an integral way.
For instance

,values and religion. For
this
reason, they were seen as a sort of spiritual guidance. Nowadays,
teachers
don'
t
have
this
part of the role anymore because education has adopted a neutral position about religion.
As a result
