Bad Teacher Myth

What is a bad teacher? It seems to be one I do not agree with. After 30 years as a teacher, I have found a few "bad teachers". They were teacher haters, student haters, alcoholics, or just having a rough time in life because of divorce, death or some other personal tragedy. In every case, they lasted less than 2 years and in most cases only one. They weed themselves out or are dismissed as soon as their problem affects students. So why are we stripping the teaching profession of its security? We want to discourage future teachers from entering the profession. This will ensure we get the worst possible candidates and keep them at the bottom of society where they will stop making noise and allow politicians to do whatever they want whenever they want with us and with our children.

For those of you who read this and are expecting a more spiritual message, its hard to post spiritual when I feel like a target stuck full of arrows.
