"TIP: don't teach a class on Teaching or listen to one on Scholarship, and don't listen to something you're already training. Each skill can lock easily enough at most ranks if you're doing the appropriate actions, and dumping more bits onto the pile is just wasteful."
When our teaching requirements were changed, I successfully avoided Teaching Teaching for months, if not years, but ultimately it comes to your audience. Hanging around empaths and clerics, often Teaching is what benefits my audience the most, so I can more easily gather a full class, or in the case of empaths, just foster a better relationship.
One of the first things I do when I enter a room is assess teaching, and if I am there for more than a couple minutes I try to initiate a class- either teaching or listening. Listening to a teaching class from a high level cleric or empath can be wonderful. If I can get someone to teach me perception I get very happy. If hunting with another cleric, we usually trade off teaching something- I will listen to anything (go medium edged!) so my hunting partner can learn teaching.
Scholarship I pretty much agree with since a) compendiums are just so easy and b) we have no hard requirement for Scholarship anyway.
