Yes, silly why people should automatically assume that teachers are pillars of the community.
When I was leaving school, it seemed to me that many of the ones who chose teacher training were what I would describe as 'mediocre' achievers or oddballs who could think of nothing else to do...but at least it would put off working for a living for a while.
Hardly surprising that that intake were amongst the ones who later contributed to the dumbing down of the education system.
You've got something about the reasons they signed up for teacher training, a mate of mine did it just to avoid the world of work, he then squeezed out some extra time by specialising in teaching the deaf. He was doing very nicely as a headmaster of a deaf & dumb school until 2 years ago when he was cleaned out and had his fat pension slashed by his now ex wife in a nasty divorce
