[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]dear college professor,

why did you go into education if you are not willing to do the job of educating people?

you sound like the kind of professor that nobody says take their class, they are awesome.

If you want a pure SME role, don’t go into education at any level.  Professors often wear many hats, one of which is teaching.  If it’s *that* odious, find a different use of your subject matter expertise.[/quote]

This is utterly ridiculous. You're probably one of those people who think kindergarten teachers should wipe kids' butts. Sorry, no. Some things need to be taught by parents. If your children are rude and feral that's on you, not anyone else. [/quote]

Nope!  But I am someone with a PhD who chose a less common career path than most in my field, specifically because I knew how I did and did not want to use my degree.  I have zero sympathy for professors who choose academia and then whine about teaching responsibilities.

Moreover, how are these brilliant SMEs going to communicate their precious knowledge if they can’t, you know, communicate and teach?  Telepathy?  I don’t disagree at all that kids to learn independence and life skills.  My elementary schoolers do their own laundry.  That doesn’t give a professor the right to be a glassbowl to their students.[/quote]
