[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that it’s not just about content knowledge (although most of these “teaching is so easy!” people aren’t as knowledgeable as they think they are, they’re just arrogant), but about being able to impart that content onto an audience of mixed ability to comprehend said material, nevermind the mixed willingness to be there in the first place. They think just because the Associate Southeast Regional Supervisor for Inside Sales praised them for a presentation they did 6 years ago that they can handle a classroom, when in reality they’d be in tears the first time they missed their lunch break because a fire drill ran long, they had to hold their pee for 7 hours, or the kids started roasting their shoes.

Yes that is the problem and brand new teachers who have all the education and credentials don’t know how to do that either. They don’t do a good job of teaching it during college so they have to learn in the job from experienced teachers (and it’s freaking hard so a lot of them never do it well).

And don’t tell me a new teacher has never cried because they were overwhelmed. That is a normal thing to do. [/quote]

They aren’t the ones claiming they can do everything better than trained educators because they cubicle-jockeyed for Capital One for 3 years.[/quote]
