Where I live in the US I am thankful I never wanted to be a teacher. The kids seem like vile monsters that go out of their way to cause great trouble. Even outside of school they have zero respect for anyone let alone themselves. I’m thankful I only had spent my high school years in the school system that I did.

The teachers don't have the power needed to deal with the bad apples and they can't even get rid of them. Parents don't seem to care much as they are to busy just trying to make it another day.

Daily fights, torn up books everywhere and you were lucky to not have electronics or other items stolen off you. Drugs where ramped and any teacher that had any soul that was not sucked out yet desperately tried to get transferred to another school system.

In fact, I had one teacher who was out of state and really cared. Right before I graduated I ran into him and we had a short talk. He was planning to move back during the summer time. You could tell he stopped caring and it was killing him on the inside. The kids tore out his kind heart and stomp on it as many times as they could.

I do think teachers never get paid enough. They have to work far too many hours a week and put up with a way too much mistreatment for what they are paying them here. That seems to be a rather sad and worldwide issue in many countries.
