It's self-inflicted misery. Have you ever taught a class? It's like giving your students a single exam with one simple yes/no question. They had eight long years to study for it and it was open book yet they still failed. You did everything you could to give them the right answer but they still didn't give a shit and failed it anyway. Now the school's burning and you want me to go back in there and teach these idiots a remedial class? Fuck. No.

They need to figure it out on their own and no pleading and trying to be understanding will help.

Have you ever taught a class and came to that result? If yes, please change careers.

Also the school isn't burning. It falls apart because it wasn't on the money IV the private schools get. The principal might be embezzling. Still not the fault of the students.

You don't want to teach them? I know of some prominent figures that do. They don't share your viewpoints.
