[quote=Anonymous]I read a study years ago that most teachers weren't very smart outside of their subjects. They skewed toward being very smart in their subject but when looked at individually as an academic whole, teachers tended to have lower scores, GPAs, and overall grades than most other majors. The same was true for elementary teachers who taught many subjects. When second grade teachers were given basic tests that everyone who completed elementary school should score well on, they scored highest on the materials that were covered specifically during the second grade. I found it really fascinating because growing up, I always thought my teachers were the smartest people. I will say that I've found that society, as a whole, has become terrible at spelling. Definitely a byproduct of so much time spent on our devices and of text-speak becoming more socially acceptable in our day-to-day lives, especially at work. [/quote]
