I understood that from the beginning. I was never confused about why having experience with teaching would allow one to better propose changes to the education system. I agree that knowing that Woz has experience tells you something useful about whether you can trust his ideas. The only point I was ever confused about was why michaelpinto’s comment not only praised Woz for having teaching experience but also disparaged his “tech peers” for not having it, when I didn’t see a link between Woz’s tech peers and education. (Now I see that the link is that apparently, his tech peers are fond of attacking the education system.) I see now that I hadn't made it clear enough which point I was confused about.
