I always heard (from a teacher, in a self deprecating fashion):

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, teach.

Those who can't teach, teach others to teach.

Those who can't teach others to teach become school/Uni administrators.

...

In reality I think it's hard to teach stuff you can't do, and teaching it becomes a great way to learn how it actually works.

This is a new expression that I have never heard before, yet immediately understand and love. Thank you for this. I'm going to start using it more.
