One of my old history teachers wrote history textbooks - Richard Malone, he's apparently well known (??)

I also have uni lecturers who wrote uni textbooks ... does that count? :P

lol one of the books that was written had mistakes in the answers everywhere... pretty bad actually, but the other one was really really good, the answers even had explanations of how do to the questions. Best of all, if you don't get something just go find them and ask them yourself XD

Well theoretically all teachers should have the same knowledge if they've been teaching the subject for long enough. As long as your teacher goes to like VCAA meetings and things like that to get the most information they can, then I think you'd be right, whether they wrote a textbook or not lol.

Well it depends on how you look at it.  I have asked a few teachers on their opinion about this and some of them say that they are very knowledgeable people but in the their opinion, they can't really convey the information to students.

Of course, what is posted above is just the opinions of a small group of teachers.
