答案     The way society regards teachers has changed over the years. Whereas "teacher" was once a title with authority and prestige, modern teachers seem to be under closer scrutiny and distrust from both parents and students. In my view, modern teachers have less influence on young students than their predecessors did, probably because of a shift in young people’s role models, and greater distrust of teachers from the adult world.
    First, the men and women that young people today admire seem to have shifted tremendously from those that prior generations looked up to.
    Instead of being inspired by the greatness of accomplished or respectable people, today’s youth seem much more impressed by social media moguls and young pop stars infamous for their off-stage antics.
    For instance, when I asked a class in a primary school who their heroes were, common answers were Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, football and baseball stars, and fictional superheroes like Iron Man.
    Social media, peers, and media show almost nothing but misbehaving pop stars and loudmouthed athletes, so it is no surprise that kids today show no interest in their strict teachers.
    Another reason kids don’t regard teachers as important is that their parents and other people do not seem to respect instructors as they once did.
    Rather than trust teachers to educate their kids and score them appropriately, many adults now make requirements on how the teacher should treat their children. If a teacher gives the kid a poor grade, the parents may not find the problem with their own children but may think that the teachers hold a grudge against their children.
    When my nephew received a "D" on one of his report cards, I asked him what he would do to improve his grades. My nephew said, "I won’t do anything. My teacher is stupid, and Mom will have a conference with her to get my grade changed."
    If parents show such disdain and disrespect toward teachers, how could the same teachers ever exude a real positive influence on their students?
    We live in a different world today, which leaves little room for teachers to have any influence over their students’ decisions or lives. Teachers cannot compete with pop stars, social media influences, or disrespectful parents for kids’ attention and support.
解析     首先我们先问孩子一个问题——“你的偶像是谁?”相信很少有孩子的回答会是老师。取而代之的则是像美国队长、Lady Gaga、钢铁侠、科比、贝克汉姆等这些名字。当今社会，随着各种社交媒体的兴起，可以对孩子生活和思想产生影响的人也越来越多了，比如某个歌星或者球星。因此老师对孩子的影响就变得越来越微不足道了。
