    Maaan… short, quippy, and wrong. Also, super insulting to teachers.

    I think this tired old saw keeps getting regurgitated when people really want to apply Sturgeon’s Law: 90% of everything is shit. To state that another way, for just about anything, any attribute , only 10% of the population is acceptable.

    The one case where the “those who cannot do” seriously applies is “Those who can no longer do, could maybe now teach.” Also: build, practice, mentor. This is a natural progression for expertise and passing on your knowledge.
