Knowledge of content does equal knowledge of pedagogy. There is some value to education classes. One of the best classes I took was called Measurement and Evaluation. In this class I learned how to make test and a smattering of statistics. To get my degree I also had to take clarinet class where I learned to teach students to assemble the instrument and produce their first tones. A teacher does have to master content but expertise doesn't necessarily make an effective teacher.
