We already have a tutorial sub forum! Help fill it out! But yes I completely agree: students teaching students is... well... it shouldn't be happening given how many people are here who already have a good understanding of the fundamentals. I agree that the teacher rank needs reforming, but the reason the teacher rank was created in the first place was to make sure those who were teaching knew what they didn't know and that they would only teach what they were capable of teaching. If for some reason this became common practice (to only teach lessons on topics which one already has a strong understanding of) then the teacher rank would not need to exist.
I guess the purpose of my post was to suggest that maybe a cultural change is possible such that people can self assess whether they are capable of giving a lesson, and that the standards to which we hold lesson giving can be ingrained in the society. Perhaps our more experienced members can give lessons on lesson giving to students and members so that when they feel compelled to give a lesson they are capable to do so, even if their rank doesn't explicitly say so.
