Gold Light Teaching
It is interesting to know that the Japanese idea of church is 教会 きょうかい “teaching meeting”. This is quite important, because it makes it very clear that someone teaches 教えます おしえます (passing on information) and the other one has to make an effort to accept it. There is a great sense of responsibility and effort on both sides.
The word teacher 教師 きょうし is not used in a classroom situation, or in a social context. This word means teacher as a profession. The word in conversation is elder 先生 せんせい. Hence it is used for doctors and for politicians (every culture has some odd aspects…)
