Before I went onto that high school, I was teaching in a college, mainly 16-18 year olds. Some of them were well behaved and actually wanted to learn. With those, I made quite a bit of progress. It wasn't until the work dried up there and I had to try somewhere else that I came up against this brick wall. I have some fond memories of teaching, things students have accomplished and their kind words about me. Quite common was, "We just learnt more about maths with you in 5 minutes than we did all through school!"

I honestly think they need to split the role, instead of expecting someone to be really good at patiently, carefully explaining things and also to be capable of ever more demanding crowd control. You're simply cutting out too many good potential teachers this way.
