Do you think it's possible to have "dumb" teachers? :P

    Wow what a good question, but I don't think its a dumb or stupid factor i think depending on the situation it can be more the one thing, could be the teacher doesn't care, makes more then the average mistakes, maybe new to teaching like fresh out of school themselves or not long out, maybe just not well with the students. As much as I would love to call some of my old teachers stupid because of the stupid things they did or dumb for that matter I don't think they are. Conclusion they are not dumb just do dumb things sometimes lol

    One of my teachers has all the certificates possible ( okay, a bit exaggerated but you get the point, he really has a ton ), yet he's the worst teacher I've ever had. Pretty much everyone in our class fails the tests, and he'd have been fired already if they'd have anyone to take his job.

    And some teachers are just plain dumb. For example, I'm better at English than my English teacher. Which annoys both her and me, because she thinks I'm just trying to act all smart, and I'm annoyed because I don't learn anything useful.

    Yes. Oh my god, I'm not going to say anything outright, but one of my teachers cannot teach, but he thinks he does teach it..

    Most of the time, it's a case of a teacher teaching in a way that isn't suited for a particular student. It doesn't make the teacher "dumb," it just makes that teacher inappropriate for that student.

    lrn2selfstudy. It'll help in the long run

    Extremely possible xD Well, I use to have a teacher that was so into their own routine for them, that the class hardly learnt anything. It did not help that she couldnt speak English correctly... but she was a nice lady if not a little fast explaining things x3

    It's very possible... Some of the teachers here only read books when teaching so I don't listen to most of them >_>

    I dont think we can have a dumb teacher, but we can have a teacher who has difficulties explaining his things easily so its always hard for it's students to understand him

    There is a very old saying that goes: Those who can't do teach. I don't know how it is where you are but in Canada teaching is usually a last option for most people.

    Go to franklin Ohio and check out the school teachers there and in the surrounding towns, not the smartest people ever. I would constantly just wonder around during lunch when i was in school and no one would even bother me even though its in the rule book that we couldnt do that, no one even cared there

    I know a view people outside of school that happen to be teachers and they're not all that bright, so I guess my answer's yes. One of my friends is in the process of obtaining a teaching degree and she's slow sometimes as well. I've also seen a lot of teachers do really dumb things and make obvious mistakes, so I don't really see there being much going for the "all teachers are smart" side of things. If they were smart they'd get a better paying job.
