Not true. My kid never had TAs. Some schools really focus on undergrad teaching and allow the kids to get to know professors and do research.
Agree.

Agreed. Grad students arguably put way more effort into their teaching, because the stakes for them are higher: when they later apply for tenure-track jobs, they need to submit teaching evaluations.
Also, for all of those who only want professors teaching their kids…where do you think those professors get their training?
