Six years of instruction hardly makes a good teacher.

I think the real problerm with teaching is the only qualification they
really recognize is diplomas from their own education system. I
volunteered at the local middle school a while, assisting in teaching
environmental education and water quality. I had to quit because the
the administration got their panties in a wad over my lack of a
college degree.
I had also tried to get involved in the computer lab, same result, in
spite of the fact that I had 30 years of computer experience and
several teaching it.
I could grade papers, clean up after class and do a few other menial
tasks but I couldn't really do anything with the students.

Smells like a union to me.

Since a whole lot of 'college degrees (especially 'education' degrees) are
worthless as the teats on a boar hog, I can understand your point.
