“The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as every child should be given the wish to learn.” — John Lubbock

👨‍🎓 👩‍🎓 A teacher is a person who teaches students in a school as an occupation. Teaching is a profession, i.e., it is a paid occupation that requires a special training or formal qualifications. Teaching typically involves imparting theoretical knowledge. 

For example, a Math teacher teaches theories, formulas, and information about math. He or she may also teach the students how to apply this knowledge practically. A teacher is more focused on curriculum, syllabus, and assessments. However, A good teacher can be called an educator. 

👨‍🎓 👩‍🎓 In my opinion, teachers are instructors and they focus on academic (curricular) activities. They prepare students for exams and help them achieve academic success. They may not be well equipped to look at issues critically and may not have knowledge about critical pedagogy. 

The main difference between an educator and a teacher is an educator is usually viewed as a mentor, instructor, or a trainer. That is to say, an educator does not merely teach, he gives sure his students intellectual, moral, and social instructions.
