I once had a class of students in which I was the graduate teaching assistant send me a dozen roses.
I taught Abnormal Psych. I didn't make it easy. I taught a lot of information not in the book. But I made it make sense. Students appreciated that. I was once told I had the highest student evaluations scores of any GTA in my psych department.
And yes, it was a lot of work and a lot of preparation, but it was worth it to do it well. But not worth it to essentially get paid only about $5/hr not counting lecture preparation time and test making and grading.
I know what you're talking about. And I have taught my son most of his math and science even when has been able to attend school. (he spent most of three years in the school system's home school program because he was too depressed to atttend classes).
