There is an adage in business I cannot dispute after 40+ years in the fight...
Those who cannot do...
Teach...
Too true, especially in math & science; my children have foreign teachers for those subjects because the American teachers don’t know them (even for elementary school). My favorite story was an American teacher who described adding fractions as adding the numerators and then the denominators; 1/2 + 1/2 = 2/4 (which is still 1/2).
And those who can't teach, go into politics.
