I have heard the exact opposite. That teachers increasingly have to acquiesce to the demands of parents and administrators. That they want to be creative and exercise their "calling," the art of it and care given to individual students. But they cannot because they're pressured by onerous top-down regulation, school administration, or blowback from zealous parents. And also, yeah I wish everyone could perform their calling for free, for the simple joy of it, but the fact of the matter is that life isn't like that and never will be like that.
