样样都教样样糟
1.Translation of a saying must be a saying.
2. The precise meaning of the original must be well kept.
3. The first part of the translation here might have some ambiguity, which can be gone combined with the latter part.
Any one has projects of translating sayings? If well paid, I'd like to join in. :)

什么都教的教师是坏教师
参考以下的解释，建议翻译为“什么都教的教师是坏教师”，不然就直接意译成“教师什么都教，只会误人子弟”。
He teaches ill, who teaches all.
The unusual structure of this proverb may make it difficult to understand. It becomes easier if we change the structure to "He who teaches all teaches ill." The word "ill" here means "badly". So it means that the teacher who teaches students everything, does not teach well. A good teacher lets students discover some things for themselves.
ill (adverb) = badly
He teaches ill, who teaches all.

面面俱到，则会烂而不精。
Here comes my version:
He teaches ill, who teaches all.
面面俱到，则会烂而不精。
I found these words online:

理解Xiaoping Fu的意见。如果此句用於讨论教学的话，我可以改为：
面面俱到地施教，则会烂而不精。
He teaches ill, who teaches all.
面面俱到，则会烂而不精。

填鸭式教学扼杀学生的创造性
或
借用 Jack of all trads (样样通、样样松)的说法，译成：
样样教，样样松 （不押韵，样样教，样样孬倒是押韵，但是太方言化）。
就是说，什么都教结果一样也教不好。

美国的有些小学老师在低年级的时候包班，语文、算术等课程全部一个人包下来，体育、音乐大概会例外。
