Why can't you teach someone to care? Why can't you explain to someone why exactly you care and help them to understand and accept your reasoning?

As an example,there are lots of health care workers that get into it for the money and start caring about patients(and vice versa).

I for example care,I would love the process of teaching but I would be terrible at everything else.

To be a good teacher,the biggest requirement imo is to be a good student. Much like how you need to be a good worker before you become a manager and how you need to be a good soldier before you give orders to other soldiers.

I just think "can't" is too strong of a claim that demands a clear and logical rationale to back it up.




I concur that teachers should be good students, as well as your analogy that managers should be good workers. In both cases it’s necessary but not sufficient.
