I'd have my doubts on those teachers who seem to be going to work just for that paycheck, they can't be too smart since teaching is notoriously poorly paid. Most of the teachers I know, especially ones who teach children, seem to be motivated by a 'calling' or vocation. I suspect this is much more prevalent among novices in pedagogy, who then are beaten into submission and conformity by an overpowering administration.
