I think that a lot of the negative stereotypes about teachers come from the close association in the public consciousness between the defensive posture of teachers unions toward (even against) so many of the issues that the public sees as value drivers for education: pay, hours, tenure, job protectionism, etc.
When I was a child, education was seen more as a partnership with the taxpaying public and teachers were perceived as more dedicated and willing to go above and beyond the requirements of the contract. It may be difficult in today’s environment for individual teachers, many of whom are equally dedicated, to rise above the collective that is associated with the adversarial aspects of today’s system.
