1 Introduction
It is not perfect to talk about education if you have not talked about teachers, because this
one figure is very much pushing back and forth education. If the teacher continues to play an
important role, the existence of the teacher remains important because the role of the teacher
cannot be entirely replaced with technology. However sophisticated their compound is still
stupid compared to teachers because computers cannot be exemplified can even be misleading
if their use is without control. It is this control function that positions the figure remains
important.
Nevertheless we have criteria about teachers because in reality not all teachers are
important, even many teachers are misleading the development and future of students, for
example teachers who rape students, complicate the development of students, commit bullying
to students both physically and verbally. The importance of teachers depends on the teacher
