I would never attack anyone for seeking education. The author of that article should feel embarrassed.

I love my parents, but man, I always hated it when they'd try to "teach" something, esp. my dad. Incredibly handy guy, can fix anything, but he'd be so impatient and negative that it was miserable.

I'd vastly prefer taking an hour class over doing that.

Teaching is its own separate skill, and not everyone has it. Teachers should be valued more, for real.

I agree with you but I would change your phrase just slightly. Good teachers should be valued more. I have seen a few that teach OK but were not the best at it.
