Abstract
There was a time when becoming a teacher was more hopeful, more noble, and more rewarding than it is now. There was a time when teachers were respected as professionals, when they were not forced to slavishly follow the senseless mandates of politicians and policymakers who knew nothing about education. There was a time when teachers had some autonomy in what, when, and how they taught.
