Teachers should not be hired based on their expertise in the subject

This is a perspective from a High school student.

The teachers I find myself resenting are always science teachers. This is not a personal prejudice but rather a direct correlation from my high schools standard for the science teacher position. My school will only hire science teachers with an advanced degree in the subject. This expectation fails to provide its students with a teacher who is passionate about what they do, committed to the betterment and wellbeing of their students, and takes the time to TEACH the lesson. My science teachers are overqualified in the worst ways possible. With an advanced understanding of the subject, they lack crucial teacher qualities.

I am very capable in school but I will never take a career in the sciences because of my shitty experiences in high school. What a shame.
