"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a
great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great
artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is
the human mind and spirit."
My statement is based on the tendency we have to idolize and glorify the wrong people. Celebrities and athletes are admired glorified and well-compensated. They simply offer entertainment.
Teachers like Law enforcement and military make meaningful contributions to our society through passing on knowledge or protecting us and the trend is to poorly pay them and many times vilify them. That is what I mean by not getting the recognition that they deserve.
As a retired Educator, (38 years Teacher, and Administrator)I concur to some extent. That depends on the administration. Mine were always applauded and recognized.

Unfortunately teachers, unlike great artists, rarely get the recognition that they deserve.
