I think it means (and DrPhil can correct me if I'm wrong) that you're discussing things that aren't specific to the teaching profession. I can relate to getting paid nearly nothing for working long hours and no vacation time. Many people can relate to that. It's not something that only happens in the teaching profession. You won't find sympathy because of these things.

On the other hand, angry/aggressive/impossible parents is something that only teachers can know and understand. We can feel sympathy for that.
