Teachers
play a crucial role in modern communities, and it can never be too exaggerated that they receive as much appreciation and respect from society as possible.
However
, some people begin to claim that they are not appreciated and valued as before. To be honest, it is indeed the truth, and there are several factors responsible for
this
consequence. I will elaborate on my ideas in subsequent paragraphs.
Firstly
,
due to
the emergence of electronic classes and immense resources on the internet, the role of
teachers
is partly substituted.
While
in the past, learning only occurred in the classroom, and
teachers
were the only ones who instill knowledge in
students
, currently the combination of
teachers
and a variety of the internet resources,
such
as online libraries, learning games and etc is the number one priority for teaching.
Consequently
, to some extent, the value of
teachers
is discounted. Plus,
students
even can point out their
teachers
' mistakes made in class by searching for online papers.
Thus
, in
this
sense,
teachers
are no longer the sore source for
students
today to gain their knowledge or skills.
Secondly
,
students
no longer put the same emphasis as in the past on
education
. Previously, for the majority,
education
is the only way to fulfil upward mobility. But now, changes are that there is a colossal amount of chances that can bring you success. Alibaba's Jack Ma is a case in point. He graduated from Hangzhou a normal university, a low-ranking college in China. He more than once openly said that it is one's capacity rather than the high
education
degree
that is
his company's golden hiring standard. Not surprisingly,
teachers
will be less appreciated nowadays
due to
multiple values.
Thirdly
, the government is
also
linked to the phenomenon that
teachers
are not appreciated more than before
due to
the low pay of
teachers
.
Teachers
,
also
mothers, and members of families,
also
shoulder the responsibilities of affording their children's
education
and expenditures of families.
Hence
, more and more
teachers
are giving up their teaching positions and running toward the other workplace.
However
, the demanding moral requests from society lead to a bad impression of
teachers
. Obviously, the more
teachers
leave the position, the fewer positive comments will be given to them.
In short, the compelling arguments mentioned above- the internet as an alternative for
teachers
, less importance of
education
, and the low salaries of them contribute jointly to the less appreciation that
teachers
receive today.
