Teachers have been seen to, by the state. Modern teachers have almost no autonomy on curriculum, textbooks to use, or even the order in which to teach things The "good teacher" archetype almost always is a teacher who goes beyond the curriculum / has somewhat of a rebel streak

No, I think it's smarts. US teachers are around at the bottom of the college-educated population in intelligence, so maybe more like 60th-75th percentile. And I think that's low enough for lack of basic arithmetic skills.
