Might be the mists of time and poor memory but I do believe teachers - in general- were more committed and professional in those days. yes there were some b******* but the enthusiastic teachers could really inspire pupils.
I've got two daughters coming to the end of secondary school education and I've found real inspirational teachers in the minority. For whatever reason it's happened, it's very sad. Teachers are demotivated and negative. In my years in HR I've interviewed a good few and the only reasons many of them stay in teaching is pension/holidays/salary. No way would I let them have a weapon!
Having said that - the few good teachers have really enriched my children's lives and you can't ever put a price on that.
