ABSTRACT
There is no profession where job satisfaction is more important or has more far reaching impact than in teaching. If teachers aren't happy, it can be carried into the classroom and ultimately affect the whole learning culture of a classroom and school. Teachers continually deal with lack of resources, especially in lower socio economic districts. But even in more affluent areas, teachers don't have the same access to resources to perform their jobs as employees of a local business. When teaching is viewed solely as a calling, it gives the connotation of a servant rather than a servant leader. So teachers are often expected to be accepting of lower pay, increase in workload, and lower job satisfaction all under the motto that "students come first." In the US, education is used as a pawn by politicians, who are not teachers, but who develop policies for education.
