I don’t want to be a teacher because I don’t want to deal with parents. When I get my Masters in Geoscience, the last thing I want is some soccer mom telling me how to teach my class or run a lab. I also would not want to deal with all the highschool drama.
The big thing that would ever keep me from teaching, is I absolutely DESPISE grading papers. That’s the one thing I found most difficult with our homeschooling. Because we had to submit quarterly reports (report cards) to the school, I had to grade their papers. It also helped me keep tabs on what they had mastered. But I hated it.
