    A history prof explained it pretty well once. A math teacher has to understand math or kids will fail the state exam. A science teacher has to explain science. An English teacher has to know how to write and read subtext.

    But a history teacher just has to read from the book. Before Common Core, state exams for history were all rote memorization of facts. Put the coach in history because they can read from the textbook.
