Yup. I’ve been saying for ever that teaching should come from life experience. Teachers should be retired engineers, retired lawyers, retired doctors, retired scientists, retired craftsmen, retired tradespeople, etc. A 25 year old girl with a teaching degree knows nothing about the world and can’t possibly teach kids a single thing.
Imagine if the prerequisite for being a journalist was experience in the field you're reporting on. Across the board, not just politics.
Same for teachers. A degree in speaking down to kids while reading from a text book they don't understand should not count for what it counts for.
