I have a great deal of respect for teachers, and think they are generally underpaid for what they do. Some of the people who have made the biggest impact on my life were my sixth-grade teacher and several high school teachers. It was a tough enough job 20 years ago when I was in school, but changes in society have made it even moreso. I think several factors lead to lack of respect for teachers in society: Low pay (if it were a good job, it would pay better, right?), the historical view mentioned by an earlier poster, and (in California at least), problems with education, which everybody wants to blame someone else for, and teachers are a prime target.
