In the early 80’s when I was in college the school of education had the lowest SAT scores and highest acceptance rate of any program in the college. I suspect it’s the same today.
And those that can't teach gym become administrators and curriculum directors.
I work in schools, and in truth there are still wonderful, committed teachers out there and administrators wise enough to stay out of their way.
But the headwinds get stronger all the time for teachers to become just "curriculum imparters" and the curriculum increasingly is top-down "trust the authority" emotional manipulation brainrot.
Every year for me, the last days of summer get more bittersweet.
"But no, lazy teachers didn’t want to help them understand". You're assuming that the teachers understood them.
And we all know what happens when you assume.

Those who can't do, teach.
Those who can't teach, teach gym.
-- Woody Allen

Same in the 70s, I believe.
