Teaching's hard! You need different skills: positive reinforcement, keeping students from getting bored, commanding their attention in a certain way.
In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.
The bulk of the universities are about teaching kids.
Teaching is the human thing, in terms of building the kids' self-confidence, so if we take the broad ways that we want to see society to be better, science can only provide certain pieces of that.
