College professor / teacher from when he graduated UCB and Cornell. He could not have held a real job. |

Most people in academia went to school when they were five and never left, retiring there sixty years later. It is one of the worst examples of vertical integration in the world. Teaching children is somehow less "real life experience" than, say, being an accountant how? If what you are telling them in the classroom is not relevant to what they see when they get their first job, they did not get the benefit of someone who has actually worked in that field. That's like telling an advertising copywriter he cannot write good copy about a feminine hygiene product because he personally doesn't use them. Of course he can. There's research available, there are women to interview, et cetera. What real world experience does a top level professor of theoretical physics require in order to be a better teacher? I suppose the question ends up being, how many people can actually make a living in theoretical physics? This topic is about people who got out of college with a crushing debt and can't find a job. Be that as it may, it has nothing to do with whether a classroom teacher has what you consider "real life experience." |
