I'd intended a different meaning of "hard". On reflection your interpretation seems a very reasonable inference from what I wrote.
What I meant: Teaching is hard enough that you shouldn't expect to find it easy without having spent any time studying it. Even as a well educated westerner, the bits of teaching you can reasonably expect to pick up won't take you far down the path to mastery.
(Thank you for you comment - it got me thinking.)
