I feel as if the teacher rank has it's pros and cons. It's useful for new people as they have a friendly face and designated people to turn to, showing a bit of structure and a face for helpfulness for them, however it also has it's cons, as for one many of teachers become complacent and extremely lazy and don't do a lot and instead use it as a way to be "better than you." From my personal opinion the role is certainly a way for ass kissers to get closer to many staff members to try and gain a level of authority over other people, and I'm well aware many people may have that opinion of me, which for my case and my own opinion is certainly not why I was a teacher. I feel as if the role needs to be re-evaluated and the people within that role (if the role stays, which in my opinion is not needed, but is nice to have), need to be monitored and evaluated every so often, not just by staff but by the community and the people that interact with them on a day-to-day basis, this is where the real truth comes out. I do however agree with Falc, if you aren't going to bring the teacher role back to it's roots, back to the sole purpose of assisting in role-play, then ditch it. From my own experience of being on the team, I know the lazy people, the ones who don't give a fuck and the ones who are there because "Oooo look at me I'm a teacher, I have a big virtual dick to compensate for real life!"
I certainly feel as if community engagement and listening to the community needs to be increased, through the use of a survey made up in 10-15 minutes on google, probably not. I do however see this as some sort of a start, but we've been promised things before so it will be nice to see if anything comes of this.

PS. Random pls fuck me
