Since I have chosen to pursue a degree in Business Education, I will also have the flexibility of teaching secondary education, college, or even training for large business firms. It is easy to see absence of anointing of a pastor that has chosen his profession rather than following a divine calling from God. In the same sense, students can sense a teacher that does not have his or her heart in teaching. The term social service is many times misunderstood. Though I do believe that teacher s provide a variety of social services, I do not necessarily believe that teaching should be defined as a social service.
Teachers offer so much for students.
To dub the profession as a social service does not grant the credit the profession truly deserves.
