  "content": "P: Logic is the Logical Basis of Logic and logical concepts (including Science and Reality). \n\nQ: Assume P is false. That leads to logical contradiction as Logic is the logical basis in general and universally, for Science, Logic, Reality, or otherwise.\n\nR: A teacher that doesn’t know Logic and how to apply it, and who cannot answer on demand the question of what Logic is and how to apply it (and logical rules) is poorly qualified to teach by the Logical Standard. \n\nS: Assume R is untrue, then a good teacher could lack knowledge of “how to know things” (Logic) which would be contradictory and would undermine the central importance of Logic in education, where Logic is the very “Logical Basis”. \n\nT: If someone who claims to be a teacher cannot tell an inquirer what Logic is and how to apply Logic then it is reasonable to question the authenticity of their credentials. \n\nFormal Argument (Proof):\n\n{P, P -> Q, Q -> R, R -> S, S -> T} |= (P & Q) & (R & S) & T\n\nConclusion: \n\nLogic, being the Logical Basis of Logic and Reality is the “Basis of Science and Education”. A “teacher” that cannot demonstrate even basic knowledge of logical rules and the application of Logic makes a dubious claim when they then claim to be a qualified teacher and can reasonably be seen as “not a true teacher”.",
