Teacher Status

       Howard has been subject to attack upon his professional integrity.  Stigler, James W.; Hiebert, James. The Teaching Gap states that:-

"Society unfairly targets teachers because teaching has not been granted the status of other professions, like medicine or law or business. Society thinks that anyone can be a teacher, that little expertise is required. Because teachers are not fully appreciated for what they do, they are vulnerable to public attacks."


The problem in Wales is that any  Tom, Dick and Mary believe they can appoint themselves as experts on Welsh Langauge teaching and learning.  Anyone who does not have Q.T.S. teaching qualifications are expressing their unqualified personal opinions and prejudices.
