I don't know. For most of then it's just a job. It's rewarding sometimes and sometimes not. A few of then really burn for it and make wonders. Others burned out. I think a surprisingly large percentage are not particularly suited to be a teacher,and they suffer as they are not in control of the situation. A few are probably really bad apples and should not be allowed to work with children since they are paedophiles or sadists. But I doubt that even more than a few teachers are thinking in the terms of creating a 'compliant' workforce.

That is the by design.. After all the Students and Parents are not aware most of the time of the manipulation being done upon them either. After all students do learn things... They have to in order to be a use as workers, soldiers, etc. They however must learn not question authority, not question their masters, must not have critical thinking skills, or skills that lesson their dependency on Corporations or Government.

You're confusing the motivations of individuals (Teachers) with the emergent properties of systems (Schools). It's entirely possible to have systems where all actors' motivations are positive, yet the outcomes are not.

  It may be true that some teachers actually want to educate, it may also be true that many even most teachers start their career with that motivation but the system of schooling quickly and permanently removes that motivation and replaces it with Institutional Conformity and replaces any motivation the individual may have had with the motivation of the system.. the school Some teachers are soo brain washed by this replacement that they do not even recognize the replacement occurred, so insidious is schooling that the teachers still believe they have the same motivation, and same goal of education.
