True enough. I went to school in rural Wisconsin, small school (graduating class - 98), but the teacher were devoted. My chemistry teacher drove out to our farm one Saturday afternoon to help me out with my chemistry homework. We lived 17 miles from town. Mnay of the teachers were the same way.
That’s because THOSE teachers understand they when they chose education the rewards they would receive in terms of the satisfaction of helping children learn were far more desirable than the paycheck and that’s why they taught.
Now it’s all about the benefits...oh and they do teach kids too, but at a far inferior success rate.
