Professors just don't give a shite about being good "teachers" in the sense that teaching is a craft.

that may be true at an elite R1.

but at a regional university, liberal arts college, or community college, where teaching is paramount, you will typically encounter a different attitude.

that's true of high schools as well. the lower student to teacher ratio a school has, the better individualized teaching you'll see.

As a semi pro student I absolutely agree. Forcing researchers to teach auditorium classes doesn't help anyone. But if you have someone who gives a damn about how people learn you can work magic.

And while grad assistants need to do something, that something isn't teaching freshmen. At UNO they're letting undergrads, as early as sophomore year, teach Chem labs.
