Mickey, you love to stir the pot but this one is extra stupid. You’re talking shit about teachers and that’s too far. Teachers are already a fiscal punching bag and now here you are making them feel bad. Fuck off you troglodyte.
Always question those who are the "teachers"

And those amazing football coaches would get trounced if they tried to sub in to play
Especially at a high school level (since they don’t teach PE in college) their job is to teach you the fundamentals like knowing the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics.

My high school’s basic computing teacher didn’t know how to use a computer.

Because anyone who knows how to use computers can make more money actually doing it than teaching it.

That is with virtually every subject though.

My IT teacher called the school’s general repair guy to fix her computer. He just flipped the power supply switch…

Deleted my original response to this…post because it was somewhat emotional. Anyway, here goes.
It is fine and good to ask questions. Any decent teacher wants you to ask clarifying questions. Pretending otherwise is really dishonest.
Yea, you will find good and bad teachers. I suspect it’s much harder to find good teachers in areas where the profession has been vilified by people/posts like these, where books and ideas are being banned, incomes are hilariously low, and thoughts are being outright policed. In those places you’ve almost certainly seen a brain drain.
Ultimately a lot of us could be making money elsewhere, but we like what we do.
I would be more wary of someone vilifying the accumulation of knowledge and those who want to share it.

Those who can’t, teach

That’s something really ignorant people say. Teaching is about managing and forming personal relationships with large, diverse groups, way more than it’s about the subject of the class. If you’ve ever had a class taught by an alternative certification monkey who won’t shut up about their 15 years of industry experience, you know what I’m talking about.

the phrase doesn’t mean all teachers are incapable. it means that people who can’t do a thing have a tendency to teach it instead as a way to remain involved
similar to a “not all x are y, but all y are x” situation

I guess my 16 years of experience in education made me ignorant towards educators? Lol I stand by my statement. I take it you’re particularly biased, either as an educator yourself, or very close to one.

I work in education. I could be off in private equity with my skills significantly making more. Too busy over here scamming I suppose.

Well this is s stupid argument. Business teachers could’ve studied economics so running a business is pointless and you have nfl and nba coaches built like a pound cake with multiple championships.
