I can tell you have very little experience with teaching. But surely your thoughts on the topic must be on par or superior to those with training and experience. My wife is a doctor and lots of people like to tell her how the body works and why she must be wrong. They think reading a blog post on vaccines is equivalent to 4 years of med school. The same phenomenon occurs in education. Lots of people think that since they went to school they know about teaching and how it should be done.

I've heard you get the same phenomenon in chiropractic and fortune-telling and wine-tasting. Not so much in evidence-based fields thankfully.

An introspective person would wonder why it is so obvious to others that they have no experience with teaching in the classroom based solely on their views of teaching.

There's no deep mystery to that; anyone who questions the dogma in any of the fields I mentioned is also obviously an outsider. The fact you went so quickly to attacking my credentials rather than giving any real rationale is not a sign that your field is full of legitimate knowledge; quite the opposite.
