This chapter emphasizes the development of teachers’ unions and the conflict between teachers’ unions, administrators and school boards. After the scientific educational management plans were applied, school administrators increased their power but otherwise these reforms caused powerless among many teachers and they were treated with low salaries and a lack of retirement funds. Therefore, Teacher union such as NEA was created to protect their right and to upgrade the value of the teaching profession.
In my opinion, teachers should be treated with great conditions and benefits such as higher salaries and the guarantee of pensions. The major reason is that this profession is really hard and stressful because teachers need to manage many children with patience everyday so they should analyze each student’s character and how to control them during the classes. Therefore, teachers teach the students not only the subjects matter but also teach them the morality and interaction. I emphasize that this profession requires with patience, energy and high motivation to teach the children. But if they are not receiving any benefits for this profession indeed without guarantee for their seniority, they will have low motivation to teach the children and many teachers consider this profession a short career. The children are future but teachers make them great future so teachers have the right to be treated well.
