> elementary school teachers tend to be soft-skills people who primarily just love working with young children.
Your description summarizes my experience meeting elementary education majors in college quite well. They weren't the hardcore intellectual types, but they really like working with kids. So they optimized for a route that made sense for them. Unfortunately for the children, they won't get exposed to the intellectual areas because the teachers really weren't into that.
