“If teaching kids torah was important, I wouldn’t be paying my kids rebbe 10 dollars an hour.”

The fact that rebeim get paid so little, in my opnion, does show either a lack of respect for the job or it correlates with the expertise necessary for the job. Even if it is important, it is not a highly specialized skill if the pay is so little.

A babysitter does not “raise” your children. They supervise them for prescribed amounts of time.
