Great post, Kriston! That covered most of the drawbacks that I can think of.
Ditto. In our situation I could not have imagined my son teaching at that age, plus the fact that his personality wouldn't have allowed it.
Having said that he has been in the position of teaching other students. For him it was a very positive experience, however, he was much older(15) and the class size was 1 or 2 Yr 11/12 students, so more of a one - one interaction covering maths or physics that he had already mastered. Fortunately, he also has the ability to impart information clearly, concisely and at the right level. Oh, and one of his greatest attributes is patience and lots of it! (I hope that doesn't sound offensive to anyone. It's not a reflection on other peoples abilities).
