I was blessed with a math teacher that took it upon himself to teach physics even though he knew next to nothing about it and we ended up having a great class. Or a principal who took it upon himself to teach gym class despite having never done it before. And throughout all my years in school teachers always seemed to step-up when needed.

But not everyone has those chances.
Definitely important. I strongly believe a good teacher can generally teach anything.

I'm trained as a science teacher, but I'm teaching math this semester.
