"Actually, the precise quote is"He w, ho can, does; he who cannot, teaches." by George Bernard Shaw in "Maxims for Revolutionists". Do you have any questions? Is there anything else I can do for you?"
The task of the professor is not to teach the individual every fine detail about any one topic. The task is to teach them the topic as a whole and provide them with a generalized view of the concept. Once this is accomplished, they can take what they have learned and expand on the subject. This expansion is the true knowledge. No one can teach any individual everything there is to know about any topic, but they can teach them to grow from the initial knowledge received. So, instead of criticizing professors and the items that should have been learned in the educational setting, how about applauding them in teaching us to think. If you cannot see the benefit from the lessons covered in class, then maybe it is because you didn't learn what you were supposed to learn to be able to expand.
