I think it's a bit of who it attracts and a bit of what this job is like in a decent amount of the country. The job has gotten more rigorous over the last two decades and more prescribed, and a bunch of people who never really wanted to be teachers have started taking leadership roles in both traditional public and especially through charters. They don't understand teaching, don't love it, and so it feels to many as though they're being demeaned.

I'd say there have been more and unique frustrations in the last few years, but I work at a private school outside of Boston and my wife at a large public inside the city. Teaching during COVID was the worst time we had teaching (online classes and cohorts): exhausting both physically and mentally without the relationship building. But it's largely back to normal now, though we're just dealing with a batch of kids who are about as smart as they were before but who lack a great deal of skills.
