They are probably old and set in their ways

It may come as a surprise to you, but, as a whole, the salary of most teachers just isn't that great. Plus, in part due to advances in modern medicine, people are not only living longer, but we're generally in better health as we do so. To me, if you love what you do, could use the continued income you earn from that, and your health still allows you to continue working, I don't see the problem with it.
The chances are very good that your "hurry up and retire" viewpoint will change as you near retirement age, even though it might seem a million years away to you right now.

Jerks like you soured them on their career choice or they never genuinely liked teaching kids. To get full pensions (if offered), they usually have to put in 30 years. If they went for a Master's Degree or Doctorate, they couldn't retire till around age 60 even if they never changed school systems. Nowadays, how likely is that?
Besides all that, are they really acting different from most adults? They've been taught to present you with info without getting too personally involved, to leave you to learn the material yourself. Some of them have to still learn the right balance, by good old trial and error.

Some teachers are just so disappointed in the way children handle their education that they think they are better than the kids. Why are some kids so snobby and lazy they don't want to work for their own betterment and blame the teacher for not doing their work?

Perhaps it's because 1) they're tired of teaching snot-nosed brats who think they already know everything, and 2) teachers are so poorly paid that they need to work until their legal retirement age in order to collect a decent retirement package.

Because they're getting paid for torturing students. They get to spread their misery on 30 kids a day and get paid for it. They get to know that their students are complaining about them at night. It's like revenge, but worse.
Actually, I don't know. They could need the money, maybe they never really wanted to be a teacher at all, and ended up falling into it. Maybe they're teaching a grade they dislike, or maybe they realized that if they're meaner, kids won't walk over them and take advantage. Or maybe they realize they don't really need to establish a sort of friendship with their students and they think it's only about doing schoolwork. Who knows with teachers O_O

I have a PE teacher whos definately ready to retire, hes half blind and half deaf. Our school doesnt have uniforms, so with him you can get away with wearing a skirt once in awhile. I agree that theyre set with thier ways.

I don't know, but they always seem to direct that hate and anger at only a few students. And this year I have a teacher who is really mean and she just keeps staring at you. It's creepy because she has a lazy eye, so one eye is looking at you and the other is looking at the wall.

Set in their ways and they have had their jobs for a long *** time. Maybe their jobs are the only thing in their lives worth living for.

Like it or not...they don't have to. You'll just have to suffer throught it because they have "tenure." Something you should consider when you get a job.
