Something about that seems like it's social media causing the problem.

Woof. Pretty harsh.
I don't disagree that the infographic is one sided, I don't even like the quote myself. Unsolicited and heavy handed.
But it brings up points the public doesn't think about. Todays teachers have to be part psychologist, part doctor (have to know all about the meds their students are or are not on), part daycare/legal guardian, part volunteer athlete, part law student.
All the while educating and motivating.
There is a simple argument, idiom mostly. Yes, there are some bad teachers. Like any job. But more than most professions, teachers get involved cause they want to help. Make a difference.
The idiom is... no one ever went into teaching for the money.
Be honest, have you ever heard that?
Did you have a friend in university who was all 'I'm going into teaching for the free ride and the massive pay'?
