Truer words were never spoken . . . er . . . signed. Countless basics then "methods and materials" classes are the crux of a teaching degree. You need thorough knowledge and how to pass it on in numerous effective ways. Caring for the student and instilling self-esteem don't mean much unless the requisite skills are there first.
