> a lot more knowledge of teaching and child psychology Do they really though? In my experience, school teachers don't really have either and both are either learned on the job or academically taught when pursuing the major. Being a great teacher is tough, but very few teachers are actually great. Being a university professor is IMO, among the hardest positions to get. In my experience, the smartest people I know are university professors. If anything, many university professors are grossly underpaid (for what they offer) in exchange for job security and complete freedom to pursue what they love.
