Anecdotally, I spent a two separate days leading a single hour of my mom's class (about a single topic each time) as a guest instructor. Both times it exhausted the hell out of me. At the time I was incredibly fit (ran 4x a week for 3mi+) but the attention requirements of teaching 1st and 3rd graders was INTENSE. I was amazed at how my mom could do this day in and day out. Plus she dug into her own pocket to supplement the classroom supplies. Teachers should be paid well north of $60K.
