Disciplining students is obviously part of the job of being a teacher. Do most teachers like this part of the job? No. They didn't become teachers to discipline students, they became teachers to educate the youth.

Most police officers probably took the job to protect society. Arresting people is merely one means to this end. They probably didn't take the job so they could enjoy arresting people.

That being said, there are probably officers who do enjoy arresting people, and teachers who enjoy disciplining students. I just don't think they're in the majority.
