It got to the point in my depression where the only times I was happy was when I was with small children, and I came home from teaching Hebrew school full of stories of what this kid had done, and how they came up with this, and how this kid does this, and she figured out this today, and isn't that amazing, and I realized that this is what I want to do.
There are also a few teachers who are there because the low pay is made up for by the control they are given over a vulnerable population. Most of my awful teachers were just unskilled and uncaring. One was definitely there for kicks.
