Re: [MTC Global] Washington Post: Are teachers professionals?

My take is:

1. Occupation: A person's usual or principal work or business especially as a means of earning living, a vocation or calling.
2. Professional: One who follows an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain.
3. Missionary: A person strongly in favor of a program,  a set of principles, etc., who attempts to persuade or converts others.
   

Teaching, that persuades or converts others, falls in the category of missionary work.Hence, I term teaching  as an occupation with a life mission. There is no denying of the fact that to become successful in any occupation, perfection, efficiency self-transformation is a must. Mission calls for sacrifice and/or self-less service; and it is not for only earning one's living or for gain.

Professional too means: perfection, efficiency, transformation etc., not only a missionary

Subject: [MTC Global] Washington Post: Are teachers professionals?

It seems like a simple question with an obvious answer, but for years teachers have been treated by policymakers as anything but professionals. Their judgments about how to educate and evaluate children are not taken into account, and they are evaluated by measures that statisticians say aren't valid assessment tools (such as when teachers are evaluated by the standardized test scores of students they don't have and subjects they don't teach). Teaching is often deemed "a calling," which is a way of saying that teachers are born and that teaching doesn't really require rigorous training beyond knowing the subject being taught.
