They may have the lowest SAT scores, but they lack nothing on the ego front. I have known many “educators” who think that they are the most important people on the face of the Earth, even though there are worms with more intelligence and common sense than they have. The professors that run the education schools are even worse, especially if you think you want to go into teaching with anything other than an education degree.
It's the Fredo Phenomenon ("I'm smart. Not like people say").
I once had a music teacher, whom I very much liked, ask me if I was stranded on a desert island with kids would I want a doctor a lawyer or a teacher. When I said Doctor he quipped but ‘who will teach your kids’ to which I replied ‘Its easier to teach a kid than a corpse for anybody, Ill take the doctor’
