Valid point for university, but I have seen this same attitude all the way down the chain to primary school and secondary school. Maybe teachers in primary school are apeing the attitudes of college professors in an attempt to capture the greater social prestige associtated with being a researcher, however this motivation buys no forgiveness in the hearts of all the students that then pay directly for this ego trip.

Paying directly for primarily or secondary schools is very rare in UK, the vast majority of teachers are paid indirectly via taxation. With my own children I've found the quality of primary school teaching to be excellent given they start on around 20k GBP here and work very long hours.
