If anyone chose teachers to be the stewards of anything we're insane.
Teachers have more of an opportunity than most to make a difference in the lives of others for sure. And I applaud those that do. But it's hardly a job requirement, it not what they get rewarded for, and it's definitely not exclusive to the profession.
I think this is union rhetoric that they probably wish they'd never started, because now they are screwed. No one wants (or is capable of handling, frankly) this kind of reponsibility. Now some parents buy in - thats even worse.
