Makes me wonder about their credentials, both the school board requirement, and that teacher's degree(s).

Those who can’t do......

I know there are great teachers out there. But, I would also say that the typical teacher is not a great teacher. In my own experience through a master’s degree and now watching my kids, I have only encountered a small handful of legitimately good teachers. I have encountered far more who apparently saw it as the path of least resistance to getting a job. So conversely I’m not buying into the perpetual narrative of teachers being underworked and under appreciated heroes that never get their due.
