Teaching profession is the most critical force for preparing futures of children and their society, while the profession is neither an easy work nor a robust occupation befitting its significance. In addition, most teachers are captured with a serious cynicism that no policy makers recognize the complexity and dilemmas that teachers face with. As a result, their hope for reform is prone to be deeply undermined in their classrooms.
