As for teaching, both of my kids are teachers and both of them got fed up with lazy students and uninvolved parents. They both teach in the 'burbs now.

Your response is one of those YMMV examples. Your attempt to extrapolate a valid answer from your own anecdotal experiences is only accurate..... for you.
Nothing against your parents, but there are teachers dedicated to teaching students regardless of their family background or lack of apparent motivation. That would appear to be the ultimate challenge for a teacher, but I understand their point of view. I used to be one too (a teacher that is) and the apathy from some students and parents can cause one to ask, "Why should I care if they don't?".
See the film, "Stand and Deliver", about one of those dedicated teachers working in an inner city neighborhood.
