I agree that Teacher were more appreciated and valued by society in the past than they were nowadays. I think teachers are very important for students. They teach people(students) new knowlage and they may be the person who change your life or ideas. After all, I think teachers should be appreciated and valued by society. In the past, all the students love their teachers.some of them may think that teacher just like her or his parents. They think teachers are wonderful.Teachers just like a book that they know everything. But now, there is less people show their expect to teachers. sometimes, students or their parents will shout and say the mean words to teachers. They think teachers should doing things as they want and never do it on their own choise. I hope people will more appreciated and valued by society in the future. After most of the people can do this, like this kind of statement("Teacher were more appreciated and valued by society in the past than they were nowadays.")will going to get appear.
