So as much as I want to think teachers are paid well.. they have to deal with kids like my daughter and pretend to enjoy it.

You are one of the few that seem to be taking an active role in supporting the learning process for you kid, and that's becoming a rare thing. It's understated what the difficulty and required skill set to teach 40 kids simultaneously who don't want to learn, and have a positive effect. It just gets harder as a kid ages if they don't acquire skills earlier but still have to be reached by a teacher to develop the necessary requirements to pass.
I don't think that I could do it.
On top of that, teachers aren't protected by administration the same way that they once were. Parents have direct access to teachers. Can you imagine having 10 Slivers coming at you every week, day and night?
