As someone who retired after 35 years teaching, the last 24 as a

primary
deputy head, I couldn't agree with you less.

There are lousy teachers, just as there are lousy plumbers,
electricians, bankers, Prime Ministers, whatever...
A misquote of George Bernard Shaw's "those who can, do: those who can't,
teach". But he did have an aversion to formal education anyway!

And who added, "and those who can't teach, teach teachers"?


I always thought it was
"those who can, do"
"those who can't, teach"
"and those who can't teach, write about it"

Needs updating.

"and those who can't write, post to Usenet." :-)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
