That is true but that is not what they are there for. They are simply there to educate and that is what they should be judged on. If you had to choose between a teacher that was a good cop, guidance counselor, advocate, friend and disciplinarian, but didn't teach anything, and another teacher who taught her students but was a bad coop, guidance counselor, advocate, friend and disciplinarian, you would keep the latter and get rid of the former. Of course some of this stuff leads to helping a teacher teach, but in the end teaching is what they are there for.
