Although in many cases, these teacher-parents will never see any desire in their children to become teachers. Teacher's children attend school, often the same school their parents are teachers. Children are very sensitive to the attitudes and feelings of those around them, especially adults. They see the lack of respect and hassles teachers receive from other kids, parents, and administrators. They see the lack of involvement and support of the community for the school and children.
Teaching is no longer a respected profession.
This has happened in two generations. The school is no longer a community center. Parents don't involve themselves in helping the school, only in complaining. PTSA meetings often have more teachers than parents, unless there is free food. Education is no longer important.
