Reasons why Teachers are more Useful than Doctors
There has been an argument over the years, to prove the assertion that teachers are more useful to society than doctors.
You may have heard people argue about it in your primary school debate competition or on the radio, or other mediums, which you did not really understand.
Today in this article you will get to know indeed, which of the two professions is more profitable to society through this post.
However, if you want to become a teacher or a doctor, it is good that you read this article, it will help you know more about the profession you are about to go into and the role you are to play.
About the Teachers and Doctors
The struggle for superiority has made this argument continue to stir up, every time there is a comparison between both professions, but before I dive into this discussion fully, let me use this opportunity to let you know who a teacher or doctor is and the role they both play in the society.
Who is a teacher?
A teacher is a trained professional who is saddled with the responsibility of teaching others how to read and write. The whole idea of imparting knowledge to a child or students is the role of teachers.
They impact the students by using the recommended school curriculum and the scheme of works to educate the students. In fact, good teachers also learn from the examples of their students.
Who is a doctor?
A doctor in the same vein is a professionally trained health worker who is saddled with the responsibility of caring for sick people. His or her responsibility is to save lives through his services.
They also give useful advice to patients on what to do to live a better life.
Reasons why Teachers are more Useful than Doctors
The following are the reasons why teachers are more useful than doctors
- Teachers are education foundation builders
- Teachers are future moulders
- Teachers discover talents and potential
- Teachers are everyone’s guardians and counsellors
- Teachers have lasting impacts on everyone
Reasons why Teachers are more Useful than Doctors
Having listed the points that I want to discuss in this post, let me now go straight to a more detailed explanation of the discussion:
Teachers are future moulders/Builders of all Professions
In all over the world, teachers are the backbone of every educational system. They impact the students with all the knowledge, skills, and values, needed for them to excel in life, especially in their future.
without, teachers, there will be no doctors. therefore, before you become a doctor, you must first have to be taught by a teacher what the doctor profession is all about.
From your primary to your tertiary institution, before anyone becomes a doctor, he/she passes through the tutelage of a teacher.
Teachers are education foundation builders
Becoming a doctor will never be possible without a teacher. Everyone who becomes a doctor, a president or anything that they may be today passed through, at least the learning of a teacher.
One thing that we all cannot deny is that if any child fails to get the early training of a teacher in the early stage of his/her education, it will be very difficult for such a child to be successful in his/her future academic endeavour, that is why the nursery, primary and secondary education is the best education a child needs.
Any individual who fails to get an education at this level is bound to have challenges in the future, and this is instrumental by the teachers.

Teachers discover talents and potential
Because of the constant contact that the teachers have with the students, it puts them in the right place to be able to discover the talents and potentials of most of those students.
How do they know, you may like to ask? Through the subjects and lessons that a teacher gives to the students, he/she will be able to know the areas that the students are doing well, and where they are not doing well.
This can then enable the teachers to recommend to the child or their parents that it will make more sense for a particular child to focus on an area, owing to his/her performance in such subjects.
With that, they provide the students with all the necessary learning materials and advice that the students need for them to excel in their academics, and field of study.
Teachers are everyone’s guardians and counsellors
Teachers are guardians and counsellors to every child under their care. They advise the child on what to do all the rest of their lives, as long as they continue to be educated by them.
They tell you what you should do to become successful in life and what you should not do as well.
Even in the absence of the parents of these students, teachers, ensure that they are in the right perspective. In fact, today, there are some children who believe in what their teacher says than their parents, that is why a child will say to the mother, that is not what our teacher says.
Teachers have lasting impacts on everyone
Teachers, especially the good ones, have a lasting impact on the lives of the students.
This is because there are students who would not have been able to read, but for their teachers, because it is not every mother that has the patience to follow up with a dull child.
Parents can be harsh because their children can’t get things right as they expect them, yet, these are the same sets of children that teachers will patiently mould and refind them to become personalities in society.
