Teaching is a noble profession because it takes a fair bit of training, it's hard work, and it's poorly paid. Why would you give the same respect to a rich unremarkable failson who is lecturing? Lecturing is probably easier than the job of an elementary or high school teacher tbh.
I feel like most public school teachers at least are somewhat honorable with their intentions. And yeah the job is hard as fuck. College professors on the other hand... hm
I mean it's hardly as if being a college professor is easy. Generally speaking, college professors are at the top of their field. Even professors at not elite universities are among the best in the world in their field. That level of expertise DOES matter for teaching advanced (and especially graduate) courses. At least in my experience, professors to put in a lot of effort to make truly difficult topics accessible to their students. (Although without a doubt there are programs where the instructors are bad and don't know what they are doing. This is generally the fault of the university administration pushing for a program to have underpaid lecturers without academic experience as a moneymaking venture.)
Now on the other hand, lecturing what is essentially a non-academic elective like Beto is doing, that is a joke.
