Security Benefits and the Academician
Abstract
The profession of teaching did not evolve immediately into a prestige group of persons with benefits available to them. Early teachers had no status and in some cases kept their lives in jeopardy when they did not teach the proper philosophy. Benefits were almost nil. The teachers of ancient Greece (about 400 B. C.) were despised by the Greeks. They were paid by the wealthy and well-born to educate their children and since they were paid, they were considered no better than tradesmen. These teachers were Sophists and were, for the most part, foreigners. The word, Sophist, originally meant a wise and educated person, but it later became a derogatory term.
