In his book "Bio of an Ogre" Piers Anthony spoke about the same sort of problem. He took courses in college to learn how to be an English Teacher but what he learned in college left him unprepared for teaching an actual class of students. Seems the college taught him a lot of terms etc. that were of little or no use for example in imparting knowledge to an actual class of high school students. As a result he got graded so poorly as a student teacher that he had trouble finding a job in education and eventually he gave it up and became a full time writer.
