Astronomer

I just love it how everybody thinks they know everything about education because they once went to school and therefore are experts. "I went to school, and so I know what education is all about." I wonder how many people who actually get a say in the education system actually have any teaching experience... I know in Australia the Education Minister is actually a lawyer. That makes so much sense, non?

I have to refrain myself from commenting on issues like these because it makes me so angry that people with actual teaching experience and knowledge on how students learn don't get their opinions respected in the slightest.
