There are writers who studied e.g .Law , not Languages and literatures, then why so many exams in lit.?

Question

As I said there are writers who didn't study languages and literatures at the university...and they are actually the center of the teachers job, the discipline..Then why must a teacher pass so many exams and inspections?(Europe)Since the writer haven't at least attended a week of courses at University ..in languages and literatures...?
Then it is easy to be a writer then a teacher..who must know all the good writers and famous..from the begining of the world..
I think that there are too many exams at the faculty of languages and literature and too many books to read (Europe).Maybe neither my own angel cannot endure to read them all in order to help me..pass the exam..although it is obviously he can read faster...
Then there should be a single exam ...the one when you obtain the job at that public or private school...Being obliged to pass suplementary exams along the next years.. it is something like a betrayal..because the teacher has already convinced along many exams . 54 exams ..

Answer 1

The difference here is that a writer writes, and the literature teacher teaches literature.

Many a non-published "writer" just doesn't understand literatur, and thus couldn't teach literature.

The literature exams are necessary to ensure one understands the material and can teach the material properly.


Good Luck....
