That would be a poor teacher, and I am saddened that you think merely
being a chapter ahead of the students is quality education.
By that reasoning, only the very top PhD is qualified (if even that
one). Sorry, but that's a ridiculous reason and I am terrified by
people who think like you.
Strawman.
A Bachelor's with emphasis on subject matter is sufficient.
However, it is not enough to be a generalist in high school. You can
very quickly get overrun by smarter students--and the students can see
this. The class quickly degenerates from there.
This is generally most obvious in those classes taught by sports
coaches. And yet another reason why I believe that sports should be
moved away from schools and out to clubs.
