The worst and most painful class I ever taught was physics for elementary ed majors.

I don’t find that hard to believe at all. I’ll have to go dig up the figures, but elementary ed majors as a group score lower than any other major on the GRE IIRC.
In many places elementary ed is perceived as (and actually is) the ‘easiest’ major, so right off the bat the people going into it are often lazy and not very bright.

(BTW, this shouldnt be taken as an indictment of all teachers, but of the people majoring in education as undergrads. I think a good chunk of them never go on to teach).
