Many teachers start as people full of hope, devotion and altruism, but after years of receiving low compensation for a brutal amount of work and seeing their friends building wealth while they can hardly make a living, many teachers turn to the "dark side". Like the ones in the video.
Teachers have to deal with kids from households with bad, low or no parenting and that's something they cannot do much about.
Then, they have to comply with the standardized programs and examinations which are a disservice to students because it's just bureaucratic cargo cult that doesn't work.
As a result of all these difficulties that are completely out of their control, they develop indifference, resentment, some are extremely passive aggressive, sarcastic and toxic. Many of these behaviors can get you fired in other occupations, but as a society, if you are a teacher, we are OK with this.
Despite all these difficulties there are teachers that are still willing to persevere, but the system is built to break the spirits of teachers.
