Syag; in your estimate, children should hate being taught by me, parents should be beating down my door, and none of them would ever want to keep contact after they are no longer in my class.
None of those things are the case. My students are eager to go out on trips i organize outside school, they call me for advice years after they leave, and I’m usually the mediator between parents and other teachers. I don’t talk about myself very much on here, but i think I’m doing something right.
