For a great many reasons. I receive a saturated list constantly. Lack of discipline, impossible standards, low wages, stress, boredom, and the list can go on. The list can at times be someone who just was not fit for the profession, or there are certainly some issues that could be ironed out with reforms. Are they expected to be "Saints" as I think someone put it? No, but they are held to a higher standard, and I do not think you would have to struggle very hard to consider why thy are. Educators are not merely government workers. At the end of the day, I would hope that teachers have some expectation (not everything, but within reason while preparing to join the profession) of what they are getting into. It's not a job for everyone, and indeed it does require a bit of a "calling". Part of the ethos of the profession is self-worship of the job, which can help teachers as a whole appreciate their own choice.
So the only people who are right for the job are those who love their job enough to make a small salary for one of the most vital jobs in our country and not make noise about it?
