5. Lack of help in dealing with kids suffering with physical, mental, and behavioral issues
7. Large number of new Canadians with language problems and having difficulty adjusting socially
9. Parents thinking their kid is a genius, and deserves special attention
10. Lack of support from the public at large
11. Etc.

Also lots of Millennials and young Gen Xers sending their kids to school, without adequate previous investment into educational infrastructure and education/training of new teachers. Upon graduation, I had multiple friends who were unable to get positions in teacher's college. I knew a few people who completed teacher's college but then couldn't find positions, so they walked from the industry.
Now 10-15 years we have a shortage of teachers....shocking.
