I once again long for a “dislike” button.

I have a running theory, not yet disproven, that this particular form of assholery — from anyone but especially from faculty — is rooted in large part in people’s shame and embarrassment about their own inability to teach.

(Teaching is a distinct skill, it’s difficult and takes lots of time & struggle to learn, people wrongly imagine expertise alone is sufficient for teaching and then find themselves floundering…do the math from there)
