I think that disclaimer was added after the fact. I don't remember it being there when I read this story the first time. Either way, I didn't see it at all when I read the article. I'm willing to admit that I'm just not on the ball, but the fact that a bunch of people missed it is rather telling, isn't it?

In one of the final paragraphs, she repeats 'teaching children' a couple of times, and the language in the rest of the article is high-school-related. It's not just the disclaimer. For example, how many people do post-graduate study in Education, then teach at University? Apart from the people teaching Education itself, it's a vanishingly small number. the fact that a bunch of people missed it is rather telling, isn't it Not particularly, given that the author's criticism is that folks in our industry give her short shrift and ignore what she has to say. It actually plays directly into her criticism that a bunch of us just tilted at her windmill without bothering to understand what it is that she actually does first.
