        When I worked at Bell Labs 1973-1983, internal courses were taught by top-notch experts ... but usually nobody was *allowed* to do that unless they could also teach well. Why? Nobody wanted a room full of expensive R&D people wasting their time, i.e., differs from many schools.

        In high school ~1963, I heard this Bell Labs Director (serious doer) talk at conference for high school students, where there were a dozen speakers & we could move around. He was superb teacher, and quickly half of the students had moved to hear him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_O._Pollak …

        This happened to me when I was a student Basically it goes around the issue that Teaching is just another doing. Hence - a) Playing Golf. You don't need to know how to teach golf to play golf. Except maybe when you have to teach yourself

        - b) Teaching Golf: It helps to know how to play it. LOL. Then you can leverage that into teaching somebody else. If you don't know how, you have nothing to leverage I have met many people that teach stuff they were never to accomplish themselves. Gymnastics, Opera singing, Chess

        This perception is dismissive of faculty at regional comprehensive universities like mine where faculty are expected to exhibit excellence in teaching and research in equal proportions. @nytimes @nytopinion

        Those who don’t find value in their students as stakeholders in science, don’t bother to be effective teachers.

        Replying to @nytimes @nytopinion

        Fuck this whole dichotomy, no matter how it’s worded. Good teachers are those who do AND help others do—from math to art and everything in between. To be a successful teacher, one needs the ability to do what they teach and the ability to connect with those they teach. #KISS

        Can I publish in the NYT Opinion section too? Here’s my argument: “It’s often said that lawyers are liars, but actually the best liars make the worst lawyers.”

        Somewhat true. I've worked with engineers who have come and taught high school math as a second career. Not one of them could actually teach. The better point is that just because you're an expert doesn't mean you can teach and vice versa.

        The second part of the sentence is not a contradiction to the first.

        A good instructor needs knowledge beyond mastery of the material. Experience to know what concepts are usually challenging for students to learn and master, experience to know HOW to explain the concepts in such a way that most students would understand, etc.

        And. . .perhaps the opposite is true? Thus making the saying truer than we knew.
