Your post does have a hidden gem accyman. Fewer and fewer teachers, especially leaders apply for jobs in "tough" schools these days. It's very hard work and there are "easier" niches to be had. As a result you get extremes of teaching in the toughest schools, ranging from dedicated, really good practitioners with a vocation to those who just can't hack it and burn out over a couple of years. This obviously exacerbates the kids' problems as school is the most consistent thing that a lot of the poor blighters have in their troubled existences, and ever changing staff teams don't help.
