If you went to some 'Farmers R Us' or 4H site or something you might get more nuanced discussions about farming.
Everything I know about farming I learned from Jeremy Clarkson...
I mean thats not entirely true, I have a number of clients who are farmers and I understand certain elements of the profession fairly well but I'd hardly consider myself knowledgeable enough to weigh in on that.
Whereas Teachers, and the Education system in general? Lets be honest. We've all gone through school. We've experienced it. We know these people in our day-to-day lives, have kids going through the system, etc. Its far closer to our monkeysphere than farming is.

I said this earlier (and was then told it wasn't a valid reason to have an opinion on the matter)...
We all went to school and, it seems like, a vast majority of us have kids that are in or have been through school... On that basis, it's possibly the most relatable profession there is. But then, because there are so many different, personal interactions, everyone's experiencing the same thing, but differently, so it only makes sense that so many have something to say.
