Objection! I personally have a son who teaches in a private high school (meaning he makes even less money than a public school teacher). Wherever he goes, the kids adore him, even though he is tough. He would make a lot more money as an administrator, but he hates administration and loves teaching, which he happens to be very good at. And he is by no means the only one of his kind. You are generalizing, and gosh knows from what.

Do you have kids in school? I do. Some of my kid's teachers can really teach (and they are public school teachers). Not everyone is great at it- but you were talking about ambition- that is what I responded to. Ambition can be possessed both by people who are successful AND by people who are not. Ambition is a state of mind, not a result. I hate to have to remind you of your own arguments- but since you do seem to be troubled by advancing senility I am forced by circumstances to bother you with the truth.
