That's golden truth, and sadly to confirm that it happens over and over again - at schools, unis... you name it.
I don't get how it comes, that (some) people being obviously smart enough to achieve higher academic degrees, can still be stupid enough not to get the fact that they are awfully lousy in teaching.
That's no shame - teaching is a separate skill, being proficient at the matter to be taught is another.
Why don't they simply admit "I have no skill in transfering knowledge." and go into research, development, whatever.
