Re: Rewarding occupations




Those who understand, teach

Those who can't teach, teach teachers to teach

Those who can't teach teachers to teach become administrators.

So true, but don't forget that all truisms have some important exceptions.
Dewey would take exception to being included, as he magnificently teaches
teachers.

One solution would be to make sure that administrators have to work in the
trenches and teach courses on a regular basis. Actually a lot of education
professors do work in the trenches, and many have come up from the trenches.
Unfortunately being a teacher is neither a qualification to teach teachers
or to administer.
