A phrase that would bounce around when I was in grad school.
I find this phrase rather demeaning. I am a damn good Instructional Designer, but I would eventually like to teach this to others.
Well, do while you can do. After that, you can teach?
As someone who fakes their way through life and can't teach, it's also demeaning to me. I don't know what I'm doing, can't really do it, and certainly shouldn't be teaching anyone else.
I also find it demeaning. I can do so much, but I CHOOSE to teach.
Maybe I shouldn’t teach anymore.
So do it till you calm down later in life, and then teach younger people
The saying sucks because it implies that they tried doing something in the private field and failed into teaching. Most teachers went directly into teaching, so they succeeded.
It’s a dumb saying. Teaching is harder than many jobs
Well you don't need to be good at teaching to be a teacher
You could say that about many jobs, especially ones that don’t offer competitive wages. I have had quite a few different jobs and there are always people that have no business holding the role they do.
Usually said by angry types who never did either one.
Yeah that's so out of context that it speaks to the intelligence of students repeating it. It came from the old trades and people retiring into teaching after they literally couldn't do it anymore, not that they weren't once capable. Very similar to the "Bad apples" quote.
Wow, what a stupid thing to be around.
