Your third parent. Although they boast a degree of education, sadly there are too many that can't even teach, and you wonder what they've been doing for 4-6 years in 'education' college, whatever crappy one it was.
My teacher chronically masturbated for 4 years in a row, non-stop, during college. Now he teaches me.

Usually caring and inspirational in elementary school.
Teachers in middle school and beyond are souless bastards sent by Satan.

Most teachers are ignorant and/or hate children. Makes you wonder why they picked
I don't care that you have a break! The day we come back from holiday vacation we have a quiz.

Why?

Because I'm the teacher and I said so.

Disease found in teachers who have to deal with students suffering from senioritis. Symptoms are similar to those of the sudents yet affecting test grading, staff meetings attendance, etc.
Diego: Dude did Mr. Smith come today?
Seb: Nah man. All his classes today were with seniors so he succumbed to teacheritis.

A person who dedicated their lives to make other children's life miserable simply because they have no lives at all. They ensure that no one else does either.
Kid 1: Does Ms. Smith have a life?
Kid 2: Of course not. Teachers don't.

Someone who teaches students at a school, whether it be preschool or high school. Teachers can vary in niceness from the best teacher who gives almost no homework and lets you do anything to a teacher that constantly screams at the class and gives assloads of homework.

Teachers, even if they seem mean, are not bad people. Yelling or other disciplines are just their way of doing things. I am not one who likes teachers yelling, but it's not their fault. If you're stuck in a class full of assholes and teeny boppers with no common sense and never shut the fuck up for 5 seconds, even the nicest teachers may lose it, maybe more frequently than others. It all depends on your classmates, and even you.
Teachers are good people that want you to learn and be able to get a good future, but if your asshole classmates fuck up class every day, that goal gets pushed farther and farther away...

A person whose life calling is in the perpetuation of the body of knowledge and experience gained through thousands of years of civilization. Often attempts to impart said knowledge despite resistance from students who do not care, parents who do not care, administrators who care about the wrong things and other people such as religious fanatics and governments who want their own agenda satisfied. Teachers are passionate about their subject matter, and given a class of students who actually want to learn, there is no end to what can be accomplished. Your typical student nowadays do not understand the one basic fact...without education, you go no further in life. Education is the cornerstone of a civilization. If people were given this value from birth, our poor country would not be in such a sorry state today. Teachers do not give homework to punish or ruin your life. They give it so that you can gain the practice you need to master subject matter. You might not see how you can use this matter later in life, but unless you happen to have a crystal ball (and know how to use it), you really have no idea when you might need it. One of the most important things you can learn in school is time management, so that you can both get your work done AND have a social life, rather than wasting time complaining and end up with no time to do either. Teachers are not people who failed at other things, all of the teachers I know and work with chose teaching as their career outright. We are teachers FIRST, in other words. Our current educational system is not perfect, it's not even great, it needs a lot of fixing up, but until our country as a whole begins valuing education and the role it serves in boosting the economic and social well-being of the nation, it will continue to get short-shrift, and parents will not encourage their children in a positive manner to participate in the process that will ultimate lead them to their adulthood.
"Man, that teacher really sucks!" "Well, if you shut your mouth and actually did your work, you might do well and change your mind!"
