　　We can never over emphasize the significance of teachers’ role in education. As conveyers of knowledge, supervisors of students’ extracurricular activities, and advisers of students’ future plan, teachers have long been regarded as a highly respected profession. However, in recent years, it is a unpleasant trend that teachers’ social status is in decline gradually.

　　To begin with, the decline of teaching quality is an indisputable reason why teachers today are less respected. Owing to the rapid population growth and education expansion, there is a large demand for teachers. To cater the needs, universities have to recruit and train more teachers quickly. Commonly adopted methods are to shorten and simplify the training process as well as lower the standard. Consequently, a majority of new teachers today feel very difficult for them to become competent in the early years due to the insufficient training and work experience. Moreover, teaching is no longer a well-paid profession, which makes a large number of teachers today less devoted to their career. In the past, as there were fewer people who were qualified to teach, people would like to pay a high salary to teachers. But today, the income of teachers, especially those working in primary schools and kindergartens, is no higher than that of a common clerk in companies. The uncompetitive payment fails to motivate teachers to work hard to improve their teaching. Even worse, some teachers with heavy economic burden choose to take several part time jobs at the same time, which makes them exhausted and incapable of taking good care of their students.

　　Secondly, the exposure of some teachers’ misbehavior through medias casts a shadow on all teachers. It is undeniable that at any time there are bad teachers. In the past, when a teacher lost his trust and reputation locally, a simple solution for him was to move to another place and start his teaching career again. But today, the powerful mass media makes it impossible for a teacher’s bad behavior to be hidden from the public. This is an effective method to supervise teachers, but when there are too many reports on teachers’ misbehavior, it is unavoidable that the public gradually lose confidence on all teachers. Normally, people regard it as teachers’ responsibility to take good care of students and help students learn and grow up, so there are few reports on teachers’ work except for big events, like saving students from traffic accidents at the expense of a teacher his own safety. However, when a teacher’s misbehavior is known, it will attract many medias, and parents who care about children’s education and health would like to spread the news broadly. As a result, though it is necessary to expose the misbehavior of teachers, the outbreak of mass reports generates serious negative impact on overall reputation of teachers, just like what is happening recently in China. There are more than three reports on child abuse in different kindergartens in Beijing last month. It has aroused panic among the public and doubts on almost all kindergarten teachers.

　　To sum up, there are reasons why teachers are less respected as before. It is mainly because of the decline of teaching quality and mass reports of some teachers’ misbehavior.
