  • Teaching is more important and a separate field by itself. Obviously the teacher needs to understand the curriculum, but they don’t necessarily need to find the level at which they’re teaching interesting.

    I had two physics teachers in middle and high school who knew each other personally. Both of them had gone through university and obviously knew a whole lot more than what they were teaching at each their separate levels. They exchanged info on students. Middle school teacher would send notes of the students who were transferred, and the high school teacher would report back how it went. This was all off record and prior to GDPR, but I found it interesting how they’d compete by basically sending “drafts” of students. Like, a good student might be send off with high regards but failed at a higher level or vice versa. They didn’t care about the students or physics, but only about what they could achieve with the potential of students. Their success was not about grades or physics. It was all about the pedagogical skill. That was the entire game, because they were teachers and not scientists.
