Neither me nor the teacher suits me at all. Preparing for lessons takes about three times as long when you want to teach according to a textbook than when you create your own activity from the beginning. Or at least the ratio was like when I was getting ready for class. The first one I taught was mainly about phonetics and pronunciation and I didn't work with the textbook at all. It took me about 3 hours to prepare for it.
