Disrespect for teachers

Name(s): 
Loss of respect for teachers
Contempt for educators
Nature 
Delining respect, prestige and recognition have resulted in a mass migration of teachers into the private sector. There they find more attractive salaries for work that is less stressful.
Background 
Up to the 1960s the teacher's role was clear, with the prestige and authority that knowledge provided. This came under attack when the intelligentsia argued that all knowledge was relative and all authority was suspect. Increasing acceptance of this view led to the accelerating erosion of the function of the teacher as a transmitter of knowledge.
