    Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.

    A phrase that would bounce around when I was in grad school.

      I find this phrase rather demeaning. I am a damn good Instructional Designer, but I would eventually like to teach this to others.

      Yeah that’s so out of context that it speaks to the intelligence of students repeating it. It came from the old trades and people retiring into teaching after they literally couldn’t do it anymore, not that they weren’t once capable. Very similar to the “Bad apples” quote.
