Are teacher in the US considered proffesionals? Like in the same way as doctors, lawyers and enginers. Here they are, to teach in a public school they have to be a member of whatever that provinces teachers profesional association is. For example here they have to be part of the Alberta Teacher's Association. These proffesional associations hold teachers to the same standards as the proffesional assoiation for doctors, lawyers and engineers etc, hold their members too. THe only difference is that the teachers and doctors proffesional associations also function as unions, since they are paid by the province(most doctors are self employed, but since the provincial governments cover medical expenses fees payed to the doctors are set by the province).
