Responsibility of teachers Teachers have a great responsibility, after all, they train the students and are often role models for students. There are teachers in knife fighting that are not good at teaching the knife fight, or whose own ability is insufficient, with the mastery of a few drills you are not a good knife fighter, let alone a good teacher.
