Preschool Teacher -- Not Light Work -- Rebut the DOT

I am getting ready for a hearing but you really need to know this.  You can rebut the DOT.  My case is for a preschool teacher of advanced age and capable of light work.  I expect the vocational expert to tell the ALJ that the job is light per the DOT and thus as generally performed.

092.227-018 TEACHER, PRESCHOOL (education)

    Instructs children in activities designed to promote social, physical, and intellectual growth needed for primary school in preschool, day care center, or other child development facility.

May be required to have certification from state.

There it is light.  But is it.  I checked the Occupational Requirements Survey published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That is the 25th percentile and 30 pounds is well beyond light.

Now that is definitive.  Preschool teachers require medium exertion.  The DOT is rebutted by governmental data.

Makes sense, some preschool teachers engage in light exertion.  We get past step four and straight into step five.  Transferability is present but it is one occupation.  That does not qualify as a range of work.
