“Neither are dummies.”
OK, but neither are educated by virtue of a degree in education, either.
My daughter realizes that education is very “meta” and she needs to have a background in solid facts to go with it. Her husband’s a sociologist in training, her mom’s an amateur astronomer, and I’m a writer. She is taking what ever science courses she can fit in the rather tight curriculum.
You can’t let your prejudices go across all the field of education. Real schooling goes on despite the idiocy of educators as a whole.
