Are teachers experts? (Ep.38)
Manage episode 312371584 series 3233739
After a Facebook post from a friend caught my eye regarding homeschooling, I was rather intrigued by the response of a teacher who argued that teachers were the best at teaching your children because after all, they are the experts. And "a trained and qualified professional is always going to do a better job than even the most well-intentioned amateur. That maxim holds true for haircuts, home electrical work, orthodontics, cardiac surgery, and education."
Sure, a baker is an expert at baking cakes, loaves of bread, etc. and a barber is an expert at cutting hair. But what are teachers actually experts at? If you just heard that someone was a teacher and that’s all you knew what does this mean they are a specialist at? What do we mean by the phrase, "Teachers are experts at teaching"? Does it even make any sense?
Does having the title of "teacher" actually mean you are an expert?
