talking tough to teachers

And while it may be really hard to do so in certain schools, that doesn't change the fact that teaching is perhaps more important in problem schools. A teacher who cannot teach in a problem school might not be a bad teacher generally, but there is no reason to leave them in the problem school if they can't do it there. Give someone else a chance to fail, or maybe suceed.

I agree with most of that, but I still think that even the most angelic of classrooms will require activities outside of teaching. A kid that masters the material in a second is often going to be more trouble for the teacher than a kid who is struggling. The former is going to be bored and disruptive. The latter will be working on the material.
