text: Being a teacher is a job, you have to go to college to become one. Teachers are a reliable source of education, as they went to college for the purpose of teaching the knowledge they learned to his or her student's. When in need for help, a friend of mine would not ask his classmates for it. Instead, he would ask his teacher for assistance. A teacher's job is to help you understand what you have trouble understanding in his or her line of work. Because, they know what they are doing and what they are talking about when explaining something a student found troubling. Once a student asked a classmate what equation did this problem ask for, and later to find out it was the wrong equation. therefore making the answer wrong, causing possible confusion for both the students. Since they did not go talk to the teacher, who knows what they are doing. It is not a student's job to help other students, it is a teacher's. Students don't always know a subject as much as his or her teacher does. They may miss a few things out or show a way that they find easier to solve specific problems, but you may not. However, a teacher can provide more than one way of solving a problem. This makes teachers a more reliable and effective source of information and education than students.
