I taught long enough to understand. And because I taught like you do, I found teaching was harder than the time I spent in law school thereafter. I know what you're saying about the admins, but I eventually concluded that they are simply reflecting the indifference and judgments of parents, who are the admin's real "clients". There is absolutely no motivation to teach in this country anymore, unless you feel a calling. The problem is that those who act f rom that place can never mesh with those who view education as a business.
