Who doesn't know teaches, and who knows does it!

I don't know if it's the right translation (or if my English is good enough...), but here in Italy we use to say that about teachers and workers.

Considering that I work as a trainer for the 10% of my time and as a consultant/developer for the other 90%, I'm thinking about that...

As a trainer I think that I've to learn a lot (and I really learn a lot from my students), but as a consultant/developer I think that perhaps I've already learned too much!!!

What do you think?

The English translation is "Those who can do, those who can't teach. Everybody has something to teach if you can learn - too much applies to tomato ketchup only

The ones left over become managers ;)

It is one of the greatest tragedies of modern teaching.

But don't you think that this saying is untrue? And deregatory to the teaching profession?

"Those that can do" - only because they lack the patience to teach.

"Those that can't teach" - clearly untrue. Motivational speakers - teach by example. Maybe this should really say "Those that can't teach from a syllabus" - I guess there's difference between teaching from a syllabus and teaching from experience.

Overall I don't like the saying - its deregatory, but then Who the hell am I? Riiiiight.
