I dont think its always looked down upon. But I think there is resentment due to the fact that some early music ed teachers dont always fully instill the best musical understanding in their students. And if they dont, when they reach higher grades more time has to be wasted to catch up instead of going ahead and building on previous knowledge. If those blocks arent in place, then you cannot continue to build upon them to widen their range of knowledge.

I have not seen the general music teachers looked down upon in particular. I think that it is all music teachers all the way up through high school. People I think look down upon them because they think of music as an extracurricular. Something that is done on the side of math and science and not really important or hard to teach kids. It's not a bad job if you are really into it and want to teach. It's just as good as all the other teaching jobs.
