Hagrid as a teacher

[Simonen]

No: HPFGUIDX 30725


Hello everybody, I´m another newbie who has been lurking here the last weeks. 
I don´t know whether this has been discussed here before, so sorry if it has.
Anyway I found nothing from the Lexicon or the FAQs.

I know that we all love Hagrid and want him only the best, but do you think it´s right from Dumbledore to let him teach Care of Magical Creatures? I don´t think he´s dangerous, don´t misunderstand me. But it seems that the students don´t really learn anything at all...(except that better kill a Blast-Ended Skrewt before it gets too big, otherwise, run :)) I think they´ve covered hippogriffs, salamanders, nifflers and the BES´s by now. Oh, I forgot the flubberworms...
Clearly, there are other persons to take the place. Like the witch in GoF who caught them the unicorn. I know Hagrid is capable of being a really good teacher, but someone should tell him what the lessons are all about. He should go someplace to get more experience and study what´s the difference between magical creatures and beasts.
IMHO, it´s not very wise from Dumbledore, because Harry has already wasted two years of his magical education for this. Poor lad, divination and care of magical creatures as new subjects...
I know there are other teachers who deal with their jobs a lot worse. But I´ve had the impression that there´s noone else to take their place. McGonagall says that true Seers are very rare and people think that the DADA place might be cursed.

By the way, I really love this place. Hope someone´s interested on this topic.
