This is a pet peeve of mine. Teachers are not somehow inferior to those who do. It's a completely different skill set that actually helps you "do" better.

- JoeAltmaier 8y agoExactly. In sport we respect coaches for their particular skills. But somehow teachers get joked about.
- dcole2929 8y agoSure we respect coaches, but we also still in every sport pay them significantly less than the pros they ostensibly lead. I personally value both coaches and teachers but it's very clear that we as a people have decided that ability to do is more valuable than the ability to teach others.
