It's not just mastery of the material though - learning how to actually teach information, anticipate student barriers to understanding, plan around occurrences etc are all part of (I'd even say the more important) of teacher education and certification. Yes, you can learn things as an apprentice/assistant, but to understand WHY you use a specific presentation style or w/e is the important part of teacher education.

Well, yes. Mastery of a subject is not enough. Thats why it was only a qualifier to become an apprentice in my post. Fundamentally, all more schooling does is provide more experience on being a student. Which is something most people honestly have plenty of experience as by the time they become an adult. The teaching side of things can very reasonably be taught by working under a teacher.
