Yeah but why would you want to be a teacher if you can't teach properly? Do something else. It's like back in Victorian London, where most teachers were actually illiterate (as comes through particularly in Dickens's writings - I recall one (dramatised) scene from I think Nicholas Nickelby (but I can't be sure) where the "teacher" is spelling window for the kids and writes W-I-N-D-E-R on the board. "Winder," he says: spell it as it sounds. Good god). According to what I've read, much of the teaching population was just men there to babysit kids while their mothers were off working, and all they knew to do was deal out punishment. Nobody learned anything.
