> In schools for professional (rather than academic) disciplines — e.g. medical schools, law schools, trade schools, etc. — the lessons from academia with relevant practical application to your field are taught together with the more practical material.

Teachers mostly don’t think their education degree made them better teachers and there’s no evidence they do[1]. It’s widely agreed that at least the third year of USAn law school is useless[2] and there are testing providers whose entire thing is teaching graduates what their law school didn’t but should have if it was professional training [3].

Professional schools are run for the benefit of the staff, so they teach what the admins and teachers want to teach. It has to have some relationship to the field but it can be completely attenuated. People learn to do their job at work, not on a university campus.
