What does this mean?
Does this mean that people become teachers b/c their failures?

This is what's wrong with the school system today-the public schools are full of idiots who got a college degree and are gonna use it, by golly!

Huh? What? Is that supposed to be a joke?

Wow, I don't know what is more sad: The fact that this saying is still around or the fact that people still believe it. Trust me, the reason that public school systems are in so much trouble has nothing to do with the skill, ability, and dedication of most of our teachers. It does however have everything to do with outdated notions such as this one which imply to our children that the people who dedicate everyday to their education are really worthless people who have nothing else to offer the world. People do not become teachers because they are failures, they do it because they care about changing failing schools. They deserve respect, and anyone who would badmouth the group of people who made it possible for them to do whatever it is they do with their life should try to do the job of a teacher for a week....they wouldn't last!

It means that those who cannot apply their learned information to the real world can only get a job reiterating it to other people and hoping they will understand it.

That is just a statement created by people who fail at school. They need to tear down their teachers to boost their own ego, which is extremely deflated because they can't even manage something simple like getting a bachelor's degree or high school diploma.

No! In the college circuit, I found that those who did....teach. They share their on-the-job experience to teach others. To be a successful teacher is a great thing, at any scholarly level. I don't know who said that, but I'd guess they didn't "do" or "teach" anything.

actually the proper way to say it would be those who cant teach..which is true think about it if you have taken a singing course or any other course for that matter was you're singing teacher a singer themselves not that they cant sing its just they didn't make it they didn't find success so they teach others in the hopes to vicariously live through the success of their pupils i hope that makes sense

You pretty much have it figured out, although I heard the last line as:
Those who can't teach, teach teachers.
