Maybe that is the problem with English that I don't find to be a problem in French...the general and ubiquitous "you". It's much easier to understand a person's meaning in a language where the general "people" is expressed differently than "you". I say this with all respect, when you (and I mean you personally) used "you"(apparently in the general sense) in the statement that I quoted, it looked like an attack.
And no, I was not citing is as a reason why a lot of people find teaching to be a difficult profession, it was in addition to explaining the qualifications to become a teacher in the state where I reside, a quip really. Like I said, there are many difficult jobs out there. Teaching is just one of them. I'm sure dealing with criminals on a daily basis isn't easy, nor is picking up a gun and defending one's country, being a doctor or nurse, nor is being a good parent.
