Then by your argument, there should be no young teachers as what the hell kind of experiences could they possibly have to teach?

Teachers don’t teach experiential knowledge

That is probably the saddest thing I have read all day.

The best teachers I ever had were the ones that taught the subject material but from a relatable manner based on their years of experience. Yes, the best teachers I personally had were older.

Feels like you’re making emotional appeals to make the previous responder look out of touch in this post, and the previous, in opposite directions.

The best teachers I ever had were kind, smart, and well funded.

The first post was that old timers not sharing their experiences was bad which in my mind extrapolates to old timers should all be teachers.

The second post was that acknowledging the fact that teachers no longer teach but instruct based on a preset curriculum arranged to get grades for specific tests higher.

The fuzzy logic in my head might not be clear to me let alone others, but I feel you're trying to make something out of nothing as well.

Most of the job of a teacher is being a publicly appointed babysitter.

Much of the rest is teaching the basics, which, as a functional adult, they should have decades of experience with.

You'd be amazed at the number of "functional adults" that are lousy babysitters

Probably all of the experience they gained by getting a degree and becoming certified to teach, for a start
