Humans discover and learn, in school we are taught by our teachers, but can we learn without an educator? Well it may sound simple enough and the straight answer most people would give is yes. But it’s not very simple at all because you may not notice but we learn stuff we never knew about from everywhere without even noticing, let me elaborate *imagine you in your room after an exhausting day of school and you’ve got a big maths exam tomorrow so you don’t hesitate to start studying and whip out your notebook and your books from your school bag and so you start, you also check answers from google and different documents to confirm you knowledge* Think about it, is this self learning? Well some might answer yes, it is so clearly not because we humans can sometimes forget the definition of a teacher. A teacher is someone who teaches teens, young adults and children at a school as some people might say, which is correct but a teacher (when simplified) is also someone who gives specific knowledge about a topic in a selected subject, this means books, the internet and much more falls in this category and believe it or not, you/yourself is a teacher as well, because even in the simplest decisions you make in a daily basis are lectured and thought upon by you which is, your brain. It gives the final decision to you and you make that decision come through.
So when we really think about it, learning something without a source (teacher) really is impossible.
