I think this video has a lot of truth to it. While it might seem a little cheesy at parts, it certainly captures what the ideal teaching culture is and what it should be. The words influence, innovate, inspire and imagine are accurate descriptors of what we should be doing as teachers. The video was aimed at high school and college students who might be still deciding what they would like to do for a living. The video uses young teachers to seem like it is a field that a lot of younger people are going into to help boost the profession.
My philosophy is that if people are given more incentives to become teachers, there will be more competition in the field for hiring. Because there is more competition, better teachers will be selected and the education in the country will be enhanced. I believe that teaching is an incredibly rewarding profession; however, I don't believe that there people recognize the joy you get from teaching, and there aren't enough incentives to get those individuals to join the field.
