Having owned and operated a training center as well as taught/mentored a great number of people on many things other than just Softimage, I don't appreciate ignorant statements like that as it casts an overtone that teachers are nothing more than hacks and industry rejects. Not only is it ignorant, but it's not true.
Teaching is a skill set of its own. Some of the best at their craft, whatever the craft may be, are often poor teachers. The easiest example to cite being professional athletes turned coaches or GMs (Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Matt Millen, etc...)
