I just realized that popular media has made me think this is somehow a bad thing. When actually it's how things should be. If you can do something do it. When you can't teach someone who can. Ugh, capitalism creeps into everything.

    I've always hated this bit of "conventional wisdom" . Teaching is a thing you do, so what then, "Those who can teach, do , those who can't teach, teach?" I imagine this soundbite came into it's own around the time schoolteachers started becoming a favorite target in politics.
