That seems to be true, and it is one of the most rgrettable things
about our society. Our kids should be taught by the brightest, not
by the dimmest.

One of my teachers once said "you're not here to learn, you're here to be
taught". Looks like that sentiment still holds.
The school's only A-level chemistry teacher went off sick the second year of
my studies, the best the school could come up with was a teacher who was
learning the syllabus as he was teaching it. Most of the time he was only
one lesson ahead of us, if we picked something up quicker than planned then
he couldn't do anymore 'til he'd learnt it for the next session. A truely
stupid plan but we got through the year somehow.
