Doesn't that indicate a lack of mastery in the material and how would they be fit to teach such a subject?
Maybe they should make it harder to be a teacher, but I think reducing the number of people who want to be teachers might have a negative overall effect. I think making it harder for teachers to get 'ultimate protection from termination' by vetting them more aggressively in their early years would be more productive

On the bold section, I recall hearing that the average A student in a university course only actually learns 50% of the material that was taught. At that level, would they still be qualified to teach it?
