"He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches."

In general, I think a teacher classifying genius and dysfunction is putting people into boxes and may harm his students more than helping them.

I've never encountered a great teacher who talks like that. I've met many people justifying their existence and positions who do talk like that.

> He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches.

And the one who cant teach, complains about teachers.

In my experience people who say the above are unable to teach anybody anything.

It reminds me of an experiment where genius were assigned at random among schoolchildren and how it affected their results (only because teachers thought they geniuses). https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/09/18/1611592...

we're all contextually geniuses or dysfunctional - I think the thing the writer is advocating for is trying to find the right context based on an attempt at an accurate assessment of the person, and how you might go about assessing people.

Agreed this article is pedantic without saying much. (Not to insult the author, I write in similar fashion and so do lots of other people)
