Taking it is the Best Way to Teach it.

I was delighted when my Dean told me I had a class in Room 195 - the largest classroom on campus. I would be able to show my teaching skills to a larger number of students. I diligently prepared for the class by studying everything I could on the topic, so the students would also be wowed by my knowledge of the subject.

The first day of class finally arrived, and the students were pouring into the large classroom. As the hour approached, the Dean walked in to the room and saw me at the Lectern.

“Dr. Tullock,” he said. “I don’t want you to teach the class. I want you to take it!”
