In this response to Donald A. Myers's "The Teacher as a Service Professional" (2008 [this issue]), the author suggests that teacher educators should not buy into Myers's concept because such would sell them short and be counterproductive to the advancement of the teaching profession. Teacher educators must not give up their struggle to advance the profession. They must reach beyond "a feeling of dedication and warmth toward clients" and they must not settle for a booby prize. Here, the author discusses how one can positively view the status of teaching as a profession. He believes that the most important ingredients in education remain the quality, experience, and behavior of teachers, which are not enhanced or advanced by viewing teachers solely as servants.
