Madam, You have not specified why you disagree with me on making teachers’ profiles public. What’s wrong in that? Many good schools do. One I visited lately: http://www.idealschool.edu.qa/TeachingStaff.htm
I was a university lecturer before moving into my current industry job. I feel proud to tell people my educational accomplishments as a teacher. If you were educated, qualified and experienced in your area, you would have an urge to tell people that you had the capacity and capability to deliver.
I pick you sentence: “ I am just wondering when we take our child to a doctor, do we check his qualification, degrees, background blah blah before using his prescribed medicine. My question is when we trust them as professional and experts of their fields why don't we trust teachers as professional and experts?”
In fact we do check if the physician is a ‘physician’. You trust because the title Doctor before his/her name rings a bell in your mind that you are not taking your child to a layman. Why pharmacies do not give many medicines without prescription even pharmacist who themselves are qualified in the area of medicine, have no authority to give away any medicine to anyone.
When I take my child to a physician I make sure that he is a Doctor not an electrician, perhaps you don’t do and just trust anyone for anything.
Your grand question, why we trust doctors not the teachers… is one of the most immature questions I have ever heard in my life. Anyway here is a simple logical answer for you and many others who may have been swayed by the buzz words like ‘state-of-the-art’, ‘best teachers in town’ etc.
We cannot distinct qualified ‘teachers’ and others as the title teacher is ‘conferred’ to anyone who teaches. An M.Phil, M.Ed with 20 years of experience is also called a teacher and an F.A pass housewife who joined a school a day ago will also be called a teacher. To me the distinguishing factor is his/her qualification, education and experience.
You are a teacher so you certainly know how many people have been burnt by F.A pass housewives-turned-teachers in Pakistanis schools in Doha. Your analogy of checking on medical practitioners’ qualification is a proof that you are one of those teachers that I want to save my kids and other Pakistani kids from.
For heaven’s sake get into the job you know. For some small bucks you guys are eclipsing nation’s future and ruining children’s lives.
