I think it depends on the luck of the draw. Generally speaking, parents are better educated these days and may have higher expectations for their child’s teachers. So it can be quite tiring to meet these expectations. 

Teaching is more demanding these days because we need to be able to guide students to think critically and creatively, navigate Gen AI platforms, design online lessons. These are challenges that my teachers didn’t have to face when teaching me 2-3 decades ago

Do you think working with the parents are more difficult than working with kids, and has it changed over time since teaching. I just heard that anecdotally from someone that was the case.
