"Them that can, do. Them that can't, teach!"

I'd attribute the quote if I could remember the source; Mark Twain, maybe?

"Them that can, do. Them that can't, teach!"

Old chinese proverb from a cursory search. It's no secret that teachers score low on tests though.

It’s

“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.”

—George Bernard Shaw

but I like this one better:

“A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.”

both from “Man and Superman”
