(Not the parent) I think that I would be quite good as a teacher, and would enjoy the act of teaching motivated and interested student. However I have enough friends/relatives who are working "capital-T" Teachers to know that actually working in a school is a completely different prospect. Between poor management, ever-changing demands/requirements from politicians/government and terrible parents the actual job of teaching can be a lot less rewarding that people might think. It's kind of like how some people really love coding, and like playing games so they think "I'll become a games developer and I'll love my job" only to be crushed by the actual process of games development in a sweatshop games company. Or the difference between loving to draw and being a professional designer churning out bullshit for some corporate client.
