I don't agree with this statement, I believe the teachers are also getting appreciated and valued by the society in the present days. There are three reasons for my point of views. For the first reason, A.I is one of the most hottest topics humans are currently discussing about, and they are several jobs that A.I can't replace, I believe teachers are one of them. Because when you become a teacher, it takes you times to not only learning how to plan a project on studying, it also takes you times to learn how to communicate with different children. And you have to be able to communicate with students who are in different ages, different genders and also different personalities, these can be big deals and the robots will never understand how to do it because they don't have emotions. And considering to these values, the teachers should be appreciated. For the second reason, present teachers take more times to think about what should they teach than the teachers in the past. Because as the times flow, the parents are more likely to sign their children up for various classes out of the classrooms. But considering to the qualities of teaching are different in every institution, the knowledges which the students learn will be slightly different at the same ages. So it will make it harder for the teachers to design the lesson plans for the children as they have different skills. For this reason, teacher needs to spend more times on making a lesson plan than the teachers in the past would do. And they can still manage to teach the students well in this condition. By thinking of the amount of the energies, times they need to spend on, they deserve to be respected and valued. For the last reason, they need to handle thousands of questions from the parents, because of in the past time, parents usually don't pay that much attention on one child because they have many children they need to take care of. But nowadays, families usually give birth on one child which means they will pay a lot of attention to their children, and education is one of the things they need to pay the most. As the teachers are taking charge of it, the parents will have a lot of questions such as if their children can go to the best universities, if their children are getting bullied on the campus and so on. Of course the teachers will have a lot of pressure to answer that, this is the extra work from the teachers nowadays compare to the previous teachers. So they should be appreciated a lot. All points considered, I believe that the teachers at present should be appreciated and valued by society equally to the teachers in the past. Teacher is a sacred job, they can make the students learn the things they should learn.
