In other words you are being taught by a failed professional. So you can expect a lack of professionalism and genuine expertise. A lot of teacher's are like the kids they teach in this respect or far too political and opinionated. Kids are very easy to teach in comparison to students or postgraduates. I'd say uni students and over 40's are the hardest to teach, from my experience.
As self-professed internet wizards, you should probably understand the use of a FB FGS page, it's not a forum lol...
There are a lot of failed professionals, yes. But for instance in my uni most of them have been teachers at other universities and they publish and experiment and they are pretty well known too. My philosophy professor was a teacher at Sorbonne, Princeton etc, my film teacher won twice on Sundance, my mentor/film teacher graduated from Yale recently. The difference is that these guys cost a lot of money and my uni is a private one. State financed institutions will never have the money to afford professionals like these people, that's why education is usually quite bad, especially in Eastern-Europe. Uni students are difficult to teach because they can tell when they are dealing with a professional, unlike many younger students.
