Agreed. It is reasonable that people who did poorly academically will be the ones who have the best insight on how to improve academic performance, and the teachers who struggled to understand a subject area will have the best insight on how to make the subject easier to learn.
- arkades 13y agoAccording to a study done on GPAs of SUNY graduates (State University of New York; several state-funded universities), teachers already have the lowest GPAs and SATs of all graduates.* A cynic might suggest this has less to do with offering insight into a flawed system and more to do with providing the lazy/dumb with a pathetically easy degree. *This trend did vary by demographics. Asian teachers had lower-than-average-for-a-teacher SAT's; African Americans had higher.
