I think that some teachers at one point reach a stage when they simply cannot be bothered with that huge responsibility any longer and thus even become potentially dangerous.
Still , I think the concept you so aptly and valiantly defend is desperately in need of new recruits.
Have you ever thought about the students' atitudes teachers are faced with today?
Nowadays teachers more often than not do not leave the staff room to teach but to do battle.
It probably all depends on where you teach ,what level and which social stratum.
