re: Who garners more respect as an educator:the high school teacher or college prof?

I think HS teachers affect kids a lot more in a positive way than college. I have seen some great HS teachers that have the ability to turn a troubled young person's life around. These teachers are worth a lot more than they are getting paid. College professors don't see as many troubled youth as HS and don't get the chance to help these young people like a HS teacher.
