1. teachers

   A teacher, also called a schoolteacher or formally an educator, is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue, via the practice of teaching. Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family (homeschooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor). In most countries, formal teaching of students is usually carried out by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those who are employed, as their main role, to teach others in a formal education context, such as at a school or other place of initial formal education or training.

Examples of Teachers in a Sentence

1. Nedda Shafir:

   The district uses the J-1 Visa program as part of its recruiting program. Due to the extreme shortage of teachers in Arizona and the United States, we work on every aspect of recruiting to obtain teachers but it is virtually impossible to fill the number of teachers needed with candidates who are U.S. citizens. This is a temporary, legal way for the district to hire teachers and provides a cultural diversity our schools need and want.

2. Nate Bohlander:

   These teachers have been out of the classroom for years, they call themselves teachers, they're paid by the district and they retire as teachers. But if you look for them in the classroom, you won't find them. They're ghost teachers.

3. Socrates:

   Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.

4. Lee Iacocca:

   In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

5. Paul. F. Meekin:

   All the perplexities, confusion and distress in education these days arises, not from defects in the students,teachers or schools, not from want of equipment or technology, but from the downright ignorance of the nature of honor, virtue and kindness. Sound education... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection of childhood, on unselfish performance of teachers and on accountability and reliability.
