People without a degree or an unrelated degree might well be competent enough to handle conversation classes, but the real bones of actual language teaching should be left to those of us actually qualified to teach.

I totally agree with you. I'm saying there is a need for shall we say 'teaching assistants' We certainly wouldn't want to let loose second language turnoi's on the poor little mites otherwise these real bones would be assembled in a highly curious fashion. All I'm saying is that degreeless native English speakers won't do more harm than they do good for conversational English, but degree-holding Russians and the like will do.
