A State of Unfairs: A Case Study Concerning Respect for Teachers in Oklahoma
Abstract
The purpose of this research study is to examine if and how Oklahoma teachers
are disrespected within their profession. This study incorporates an online survey
and in-depth interviewing to attempt to address the respect/disrespect teacher in
Oklahoma might feel and where the lack of respect might be coming from (i.e.
students, lawmakers, administrators). These feelings of disrespect, reported by the
teachers online and during interviews, are tied into the early years of teaching and
analyzed in terms of historical context and potential gender bias. This study
concludes with suggestions of how to decrease feelings of disrespect among
teachers.
