Definition of Teacher’s Duties: To defeat ignorance directly and promptly, usually through schooling.
Teachers accept the historic duty to defeat ignorance directly and promptly one learner at a time, usually through schooling. Defeat exists when each learner identifies similarities, differences, omissions, extensions, and consequences of enduring ways that make up a civilization. Some call these ways social codes, that is, ways that most people behave in daily life when taken together constitute the culture of a society.
Teachers alone hold this primary duty. Without fulfillment of this duty, the social function of educating the next generation of learners takes longer.
This duty contrasts with those of other social roles. For example, artists address aesthetics; believers give priority to faith; economists analyze exchanges; evangelists promote commitments; missionaries distribute faith; politicians strike compromises; propagandists assert truths; scientists describe and demonstrate facts; and social workers improve social welfare.
