I think that's true unfortunately (not the bit about caring
). So much you hear people talking about badly behaved kids and how kids don't know about certain things and they say teachers should be responsible for that! Stuff parents should be responsible for, like manners and morals and so on. And yet, at least in Australia, they're poorly paid and their profession disparaged by many people in the community.

Obviously there are some horror teachers. I had a music teacher in year 10 which we managed to depose she was so completely incompetent and incapable of keeping a class of 10 with otherwise well-behaved students under control. But I think it's also to do with the student. If you don't want to be there and aren't interested in learning then only the most fantastic teacher will keep your attention. Most teachers aren't fantastic, but they're good enough it the student's attitude is good as well.
