I could be a former law clerk teaching government, but that wouldn't help me be a better government teacher if I didn't have the right personality needed to be a teacher. Maybe at the college level where you just lecture to students, but teachers have to actually teach. You have to understand your students and create lessons that targeted for them. You have to be able to adjust the lessons based on the needs of students before or during instruction.

Many of the best coaches in the NFL never played in the NFL, and many ex-players have made terrible coaches.
