I think spank's point, if clearly stated, might be that some teachers may have all those roles, but EVERY teacher MUST teach basic skills. And while it may be really hard to do so in certain schools, that doesn't change the fact that teaching is perhaps more important in problem schools. A teacher who cannot teach in a problem school might not be a bad teacher generally, but there is no reason to leave them in the problem school if they can't do it there. Give someone else a chance to fail, or maybe suceed.
