The answers from the interviews have been put in relation to theories in research of professions. Three hypotheses have been put up to apply the theories on the answers. The results from the interviews with the teachers are very clear. The teachers do think that the status of the teaching profession has changed. The main reasons, that the teachers give, of the change are the low wages and that uneducated staff are allowed in school.
