You make a good point. I've been lucky in that (a) I went to a liberal-arts college where teaching was everyone's #1 priority, so while I had my share of mediocre instructors, I never had a professor who thought students were a waste of time; and (b) the professors who go to teach at CMU-Q tend to be pretty teaching-focused. If they didn't like students, they wouldn't be willing to move across the world to teach different ones.

So yeah, having the teaching of 101-level classes done by a few people with great pedagogy instead of by thousands and thousands of untrained and grouchy grad students/postdocs/unexperienced professors may well be a win for everyone.
