[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll get flamed for this, but the less intelligent people I know are or were in education. Teachers and principals. [/quote]
Especially men. My FIL fits this description. [/quote]

Yep. PP here, and 3/4 people, including the one who became a principal, are men.[/quote]

+1, but to the general point.

Education is also a good industry if OP’s child is particularly emotionally high maintenance. [/quote]

[b]I’m trying to imagine a Physics, Trig, Government, or World Literature with a low IQ. [/b]I don’t see it.

It’s not just having content knowledge, it’s about knowing how to engage an unwilling audience and delivering it.

Same goes for a 1st grade or 3rd grade teacher. Sure, the concepts may not be particularly complex, but knowing how to deliver them? That’s ridiculously hard and takes skill: organization, communication, the ability to differentiate and immediately pivot without a plan, etc. Not to mention the understanding of theory and child psychology they need for the job.

I have nothing but respect for teachers. I know what they do is extremely demanding, including intellectually. But if people just think they “play with kids,” you wouldn’t think that.

Elementary ed, not hs physics. Plenty of relatively dumb people there, despite PC requiring everyone to go on publicly about "respect for teachers" and "what they do is extremely demanding." [/quote]

This is the most insulting thing I’ve read on DCUM ever. And that’s saying a lot.

Elementary teachers have more emotional intelligence in their pinkies than you evidently have in your whole body, not to mention the actual ability to teach on top of the work and care that goes into the job.

If you hate teachers, just homeschool. No one will miss you or your kids.[/quote]

You and I know this.

But the PP is absolutely clueless of what it takes to be an elementary education teacher.
