Although I don't belong to a union, I am a teacher...
I'm sorry, Amelia. My 'shallow end of the gene pool' comment didn't apply to you! I'm also a teacher (of sorts), and I see many, many incompetent teachers year after year. I was thinking of the probably 90% of the teachers that teach because they can't do anything else!
I forget that there are still some teachers out there like the ones I had (decades ago). God bless them and I wish we could go back to those times!

I'm not sure if I'd put the percentage as high as 90%, though. I know quite a few very good teachers who could do other things, but love to teach.
