Teaching-a "lifestyle" choice.
"There are teachers who work hard, and others who do not work hard but
are nevertheless good teachers. But if you are looking for a career that
permits you to work few hours, take three months off a year, have job
security despite your performance and retire at age 55 with a great
pension, public school teaching is the only game in town."
"That makes it
inevitable that many people enter teaching largely for the lifestyle at
the expense of our youth and, ultimately, this country’s educational
needs."
