I USE ANTLERS IN ALL OF MY DEEEEEEEEEEEEEECORRRRAAAAAAAAAAATING.
Ugh, I feel like there is a veneration of the police, nurses and doctors, teachers etc which while on an individual level it is usually well deserved (I have family members/friends in all of those fields) but it is also used to stifle criticism of the institutions which are often...eh. They get pushed from pillar to post by politicians, they're old fashioned (like you said about teaching, it doesn't take in to account what we now understand about children that we didn't a hundred years ago), they're underfunded, they're soaked in institutionalised prejudice.
I know I could teach but I don't want to, and Beth's parents who are both teachers are of the same opinion of you but remain in the field because they trained so long ago.
