Do you think the quote "Those who can't do, teach" applies? What do you think about people who attempt to give advice but aren't "qualified" (in the loose sense, maybe not a PhD in the topic but at least basic experience)? For example, I know this guy who gives advice on running forums and stuff but he's never actually ha a successful forum and it really irks me. Whenever I call him out on it, he just claims "it's just my opinion though!" or "I don't need experience to give advice" or some bullshit.
What about you? What do you guys think?

People that are not qualified can give advice.
For example when you watch sports are you ever like that guy could have done this and that would have been better.
Although sometimes it's annoying I think you can give advice occasionally.

I disagree with the quote entirely. If the person giving the advice or tutoring is a complete moron who can't do it their self, then they have no place telling other people how to do it. They're more than likely giving bad advice.

That's a little understand since you're just watching a game (and what you're saying may not even work anyways), but this guy owns a site that gives advice, which basically screams "I'm qualified."

What I find really stupid is that teachers that are higher up can't teach as well as the teachers lower. The people doing their jobs don't get the "good teaching" medal.

Well if he's doing that then it's kind of dumb.
But I just thought I'd point out that fact cause it seemed like he was just some guy who was trying to give advice.

Some teachers used to be qualified but technology kinda outpaces them :|

Юля Волкова родилась 20 февраля 1985 г. в Москве, в семье успешного бизнесмена. В 7 лет, параллельно с общеобразова- тельной школой, поступила в детскую музыкальную школу по классу фортепиано. Когда Юле исполнилось 9 лет, она была зачислена в состав известного детского вокально-инструментального ансамбля "Непоседы". На предварительном прослушивании она спела песню "Ой, то не вечер". Через год в "Непоседы" была зачислена Лена Катина, и вскоре между девочками возникла крепкая дружба. В 11 лет Юля меняет обычную школу на школу с театральным уклоном. Через 3 года она покидает ВИА "Непоседы" и проходит кастинг в музыкальный проект Тату, в котором к тому времени уже поет Лена Катина. В возрасте 15-ти лет Юля поступает на вокальное отделение эстрадно-джазового училища им. Гнесиных и одновременно получает всемирную известность как солистка группы Тату.
В 2004 году у неё родился ребенок. Сейчас ей 20 лет.

My mom is a teacher. She said that education sections of the university almost always rank among the lowest in test results, and that most of the teachers she knows came into teaching as a fall-back job, or something easier, or something that requires less qualifications, etc. Granted, she makes a point of teaching in the worst areas, so her peers aren't all that great examples.
