    I’ve had horrible teachers, but mostly because they were abusive, and terrible at teaching. Even those horrible teachers never told me I wouldn’t amount to anything without appending the statement with “if you don’t apply yourself”.

      Things would probably be different if teachers made more money or if the requirements were higher. For most people who become teachers, it definitely was not their intended career progression. Just something they landed on.
