I’m commenting on the phrase as it’s certainly a stereotype that needs to be squashed.

It's not the version of the saying you're thinking of. It's quite the compliment actually. :) Best, Eric T.

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…) Matt -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com
