Overview

"Teacher" is a song by the British rock band Jethro Tull, first released as the B-side to the January 1970 single "The Witch's Promise", on the Chrysalis label. Written by the band's frontman Ian Anderson, the song is a comment on the corruption of self-styled gurus who used their followers for their own gain. After its release on the "Witch's Promise" single, an alternate re-recorded version of the song later appeared on the US release of the album Benefit. This version would become a radio hit in the US and appear on several compilation albums. Background "Teacher" was written by Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson. He later stated the song was influenced by his skepticism of teacher-like gurus who had been influencing other musicians of the time, though some perceived the song to be a comment on the band's manager, Terry Ellis. He reflected: Unlike its more folk-inflected A-side, "The Witch's Promise", "Teacher" features a standard, rock-oriented arrangement and structure. Anderson commented, "Every so often there are those songs that fall into the conventional pop rock structure—songs like 'Teacher', for instance—but that style isn't our forte. We're not very good at it because I'm not that kind of a singer, and it doesn't come easy to me to do that stuff."

Notable quotes

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”
— Henry Adams, The Education of Henry Adams, Ch. 20, "Failure".
“When I first began teaching, I visited with a former teacher who I respected greatly. I asked him for some advice. He responded without hesitation, "A good teacher must love his students." "Love?" I queried. "Yes, love. When you come to care about each student as your very own child, then you'll become a great teacher."”
— Jeffrey Glanz, Teaching 101: Classroom Strategies for the Beginning Teacher (2004), p. 131
“Since human beings are highly adaptable it may be possible for an individual with any sort of competence to learn, in the end, according to any teaching strategy. But the experiments show, very clearly indeed, that the rate, quality and durability of learning is crucially dependent upon whether or not the teaching strategy is of a sort that suits the individual”
— Gordon Pask (1972) Learning Strategies and Individual Competence p. 221.
“If death is the schoolmaster, then life is our homework”
— Meditation for June 9, The Day of Mental Insistence, in the book The Secret Language of Birthdays by and Joost Elffers
“Instruction does not prevent waste of time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.”
— James Anthony Froude, Short Studies on Great Subjects, Education.
“A master should be paid liberally, in order to secure a person properly qualified.”
— Sir John Romilly, Att.-Gen. v. Warden, &c. of Louth School (1852), 14 Beav. 206.
