And of course, Biden did actually teach a number of years in law school - he was an adjunct professor while serving in the Senate.
I'd like to have seen him in action as a teacher. I've had both great ones, and pretty lousy ones during my academic career. Just like not all teachers and medical doctors - even some great ones - graduated in the top of their class, not all presidents and vice presidents did either. And not that it really matters, but Biden, just like a few others, wasn't that great of a student. From https://www.mentalfloss.com/ar...
By all accounts, Biden wasn’t the world’s greatest student, but he made up for his academic shortcomings with sheer likability. Biden ranked 506th out of 688 students in the University of Delaware’s class of 1965, but a professor still recommended him for law school “on grounds of personality and general promise.” The future VP didn’t exactly turn on the jets once he got to law school, either. He finished 76th in his class of 85 students at Syracuse, and admitted to plagiarism in his first year of law school. But again, a dean recommended him for a job on the basis of his “confidence,” “general physical appearance,” and “general speaking ability.”
Kind of amusing that comment about his speaking ability, even despite his life-long struggle with stuttering!
