cambridge dictionary : person whose job is to treat people who have an illness or injury

i am obviously not a doctor. i havent got a degree from a medical faculty just a degree in physics, MA and PCD ( Preliminary Certificate in Dentistry), i have been prescribing medicines and treating people's injury especially the backache and neckache What is my job? Do you want to send your kids to me when they are ill?

You can't compare being a doctor and being a tefler. If a doctor or dentist makes a mistake at work it could be a matter of life and death. The biggest mistake a tefler is likely to make at work is pushing the wrong button on the photocopier.

maybe you cant compare but i can .. so do not blame schools for hiring undismisqualified people as teachers.

Don't you employ teflers at your place?

[whynotme]

yeah but with degrees and certicifates. we dont need many and ours have been here for at least 3 or 4 years

teachers can teach someone the wrong thing. incorrect grammar, pronunciation, cultural norms etc. a native speaker EFL teacher could be a poor representative for their home country. teachers can be real creeps and mess with students heads. but i think some of the academic education baloney they make us study in teacher training is pretty pointless up against classroom teaching experience.
