Just after a 30-years experience as a reporter for newspapers and magazines, I did try more than 10 years as a teacher, most on music. This was all during the 1990s and until 2006. Schooling later included different teaching at the University of Iowa for journalism, for monthly students in their juniors classes.
The world of teaching was confusing.
Parents always complained about classes, not wanting what type of the children what they are learning, if anything. Schools, especially of some at larger cities in movies, were useless schools. The teachers bailed out quickly after starting. Principals were destroyed by students, those invading parents and occasional even by police. Teachers were arrested for sexually getting involved with some older children.
At college, it was like a storm all over the time. At the many scripted movies about screwed-up schools, in which violence and fights are written by screenplays, spread out Hollywood.
During a music teacher at younger students, I was trying to teach kids to play instruments. Interestingly, instruments were all interesting, but the modern use of phones by children, especially at teenagers, wreck everything. Phones dominate all students, and teachers' working on students was wasted.
In music, huge hours are spent after schools, for concerts, all manner of performing, and in high school almost professtional music is right there! Teachers in music did so much work that was off from classes, it was tecnically wrong to do it, suck up all time, and over battles weekend band lessons and performing were dominated and sometimes destructive on physical and mental energy.
Music became difficult because too much spend too much time at school.
Teaching does attract professionals, but even the best of these get worn off fast. Music can destroy the teachers, and anger both students and their pairents. It is time to make sure about teaching at schools, how much they are heavily studied.
I actually put on the wrong writing style on this report, and have edited for more sense. Apologize for this one. I was trying to write at usig wrong method, and reworked a lot and scrapped any of these comments. Many experts have stated to fix this report. One historic reason is about the professional I was in that work, teaching, which blew up to my eyes, and I was exhausted! Hopefully, these changes will be fine, but if not, I will scrap this entire one! Please forgive! My brain was coming back from a stroke, and sometimes for switch to errors. Than you for all!
