I'm in Britain
Part of our problem is uncontrollable children. All they have to do is say Sir looked at me funny and the teacher has a permenant record of an abuse allegation. I went to a fairly normal secondary school, where every class resembled a chimps tea party. Dad (ex soldier, served in NI during the 70's, built like a brick shithouse) tried teaching, but could rarely get the class to sit still and shut up so he could actually teach. He knew a lot of teachers who had time off from stress.
