1.1BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

It would not be an exaggeration to argue that disrespectful behavior of educators or a lack of regard for those who work in education has been around since the beginning of time itself. Teaching is a lowly and laborious profession in this region of the world, according to Frazer’s observations and experiences (Frazer 2021). It is only appropriate for those individuals who are forced to take on the role of school Master or Mistress. It is not necessary to examine teaching in great detail in order to deduce that students' lack of respect for their instructors is one of the factors contributing to the students' subpar academic performance. This has been the primary driver of the problem, and the pattern will not reverse itself until such time as this significant population is given the place in society that is justly theirs.

Although it is obvious that the quality of the instructors has an effect on the performance of the students, reliable data to support this assertion is extremely rare. It is difficult to determine the direction of causation in the relationship between teachers' perception and students' outcomes in physics because of the ingenuity of teachers, which also makes it difficult to differentiate teachers' perception from unobserved individual characteristics that might affect both subject selection and academic performance. One important reason for this is that the ingenuity of teachers makes it difficult to sort out the direction of causation in the relationship between teachers' perception and students' outcomes in physics. According to Sukura (2020), a random evaluation of instructors in different schools would be the most effective technique to determine the impact that teachers have on the performance of their students. The instructors, in addition to the parents, are without a doubt going to be the group of individuals who are most essential in turning this goal into a reality.

This outlook is shared by the Nigerian federal government (FGN, 2013), as well. It is consequently a really shocking development that these educators are viewed in contempt in the manner in which it now exists. Why, therefore, does the society place such a low value on the profession of teaching, if it sets such a high value on education? Could it be that the society is at least somewhat to blame as well as the individual teachers? It is necessary to provide responses to these and any other relevant questions. Are we all in agreement that teaching is not an easy profession to pursue? On the other hand, we vehemently disagree with the widespread sentiment that it is appalling. To the cretins and individuals with a limited comprehension, being a school teacher does not equate to being a clown. Teaching may seem like a menial job, but the fact is that it is the most honorable profession there is.
