The idea that one must be smarter or more knowlegable to teach adults is a fallacy. Teaching children or true beginners takes more knowlege and skill not less, plus you have to effectively manage your classroom before you can really teach them anything.

Good point. You see people coming out with this fallacy time and time again on Dave's - usually with some kind of example of getting little Min Soo to repeat 'My name is' 50 times a day, followed up with a comment about rocket science. Teaching a good class of adults can be a real doddle sometimes, whereas to teach kids well you have to be really on top of your game |
