There is a certain nobility attached with the teaching profession that engenders from the importance of education in raising standards of living. Not only does good education augment one's employment prospects, it also helps mould well-rounded, thoughtful characters, a point that is often neglected. In spite of this, teachers remain undervalued commodities. Work hours are long, there is little money in the profession and worst of all, recalcitrant youths are often in abundant supply. Yet education is only beneficial when it is of a high quality, when classes are taught by committed, knowledgeable individuals. I am skeptical that such means that recruitment drives are able to attract proficient teachers and I am hence in disagreement with such efforts. Methods of enticing individuals to join the profession can come in a variety of forms, including offering better financial renumeration and allowing for more autonomy in the classroom. However throughout the 12 years of formal education that I received, I found that the most effective teachers were those who felt a deep sense of duty towards enlightening today's youths, those who satisfy themselves with the positive impact they leave on their students. These teachers would probably offer their services readily, having been motivated by a passion. Conversely, attempts to recruit teachers by offering other sorts of appeals could attract individuals of different motivations
