The bolded statement assumes that what you call the "underpinnings of the teaching profession" are accurate.
While I do see teachers of being promoters of morality, in a sense, they are not the promoters of a particular moral code; Instead they promote critical thinking in their students, who would then go on to form their own moral code.
As far as being pillars of the community with high public image standards to maintain, I see nothing of the sort. Maybe this is because I grew up in a large city, and so had no idea about the private lives of my teachers other than what they chose to share with me.
And once again, you rely on the fallacy of the majority, as if something must be true simply because a majority of your peers believe it to be true.
As far as elitism goes, I think it has it places, and teaching is one of them as long as it's an elitism of merit. However, I disagree that teaching is traditionalist. Our schools have been a conduit of social change for quite some time. Sex ed, anti-bullying initiatives, busing, etc have all been designed with undermining traditional beliefs in mind.
And as far as fallacies goes, I made no claims of being without flaws. I am as human as you are. However, when a belief of mine is shown to be fallacious, I don't continue to claim it is true, in spite of being flawed.
