Your last paragraph reminds me of what my wife calls “one of your favorite sayings.” “It’s difficult to respect someone that doesn’t respect themselves.” Of course that doesn’t mean treat people in a disrespectful manner, but I don’t understand why anyone would wish to be a teacher in the US.

You become an administrator. Same goes for education.
