The way I see it, if you like to teach but don't want the hassles of being a babysitter in a public school, you could try teaching in a college or a private school. Not being at all familiar with that profession, perhaps you must "intern" in the public school system. If that is so, then the system is losing out on some very good teachers like yourself, who have no interest in being paid poorly to babysit those disinterested and disrespectful students. What a shame, but it's just another thing in the US that is broken.
Indeed. I wouldn't recommend teaching in the public school system to anyone. It's an unmitigated disaster that serves mainly to destroy children's enthusiasm for life. No amount of good teachers can solve the systemic problems.
To the original poster, I would recommend finding something you're good at teaching, and set out to teach that, on your own terms, whether at a school, an institute, a club, or a business you start on your own.
IIN that I am great at teaching but that I don't want to be a teacher?
