> They have enormous responsibility with the children

Could you elaborate on that? I always thought that there are rules and procedures for everything so the teachers are fine and covered.

Not the OP, but I think that's exactly what he meant. They have the responsibility to educate the future generations and yet have barely any leeway about how to do it.

Especially in the US, teachers often have to assume a parental role and take care of children beyond the scope of their "job". The alternative is to watch children you see every day spiral down a bad path.
