I actually taught math, grades 8 to 12?, over the course of 10 years in Somalia, Ireland and Columbus Ohio. I had a BS in Math and really enjoyed the math part. I concluded that even though I enjoyed math and the teaching part of teaching, I wasn't enjoying the students the way a genuine teacher must. I ended up programming computers. A sad but common tale. A genuine teacher with even reasonable skills works, I think, but genuine teachers may be relatively rare. Good article.
