It actually is the job of teachers to raise kids though.

Just because a teacher is teaching a specific subject doesn't mean they're unable to also help the kid with growing up?

Recognizing and providing direction is specifically what a teacher is supposed to do.

One major part of school is to give children the ability to have more trusted alerts to help them understand the world and not keep them isolated into a single world view of their parents.



Well, I disagree that it's the job of teachers to raise kids. That's entirely the job of a parent, teachers can help at will, but that's too much of a burden to place on them.

Raising kids is hard and difficult and the person with the greatest incentive to put in the best efforts to do so is a parent.


I never said it's only the job of the teachers. Raising kids is realistically the job of everyone, but more importantly trusted adults in the life of the kid.

Especially because in a lot of abusive cases, kids need another trusted adult in case they need to report what's going on and get guidance from them.
