I think that when a teacher has never expierenced life outside of a classroom they lack the knowledge of what it takes to succeed beyond the classroom...They are used to theories. They have never been responsible for an employees livelihood (for example). They do not know what you go through daily in your business. Teachers never expierence any of that.... It's all theory.
I was guilty of this myself, I went from playing football to coaching to the high school classroom and coaching. My only professional out of classroom expierence was coaching at the college level. I feel like now if I went back into the classroom I could offer more to the students and even bring up my expierences in business within my lessons . This would make me a more well rounded teacher IMO.
