As a middle school math teacher, I thank you. I guide the hormonally-impaired through a good part of the most socially awkward time of their lives. Their parents don't know who they are much of the time and the kids aren't capable of knowing what my colleagues and I have done for them until years later. A little respect helps a ton.

Yes, but I respect you and not blindly your profession. You should know as well as ANYONE that not all teachers are made equally. I stand by my assertion that there is no "most noble profession" but rather a most noble "professional"
