Great koan.
Buddhism has been taught for about 2500 years.
There have always been teaching. It may not have been a formal school but people have always taught their children.
There have been queens who were Buddhist. There was never been anyone who was universally accepted as the Buddhist queen.
It has never been an ethnic religion. the Buddha accepted everyone into his teachings.
I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, to which is the tradition I practice, added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.
"Student taught" typically refers to a teacher training program where a student teacher works alongside a mentor teacher to gain hands-on teaching experience in a classroom setting. This experience allows the student teacher to apply theoretical knowledge to practice and develop their teaching skills.
Of course not! Swimming has never really been invented, it has just been possible, thus taught.

Theravada, the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the Tipitaka, or Pali canon, which scholars generally agree contains the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings. For many centuries, Theravada has been the predominant religion of continental Southeast Asia (Thailand, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, and Laos) and Sri Lanka. Today Theravada Buddhists number well over 100 million worldwide.
C. Buddhists taught the virtues of the eightfold path. That is the correct answer, and Gautama was ACTUALLY born to a royal family who tried to keep him sheltered. He gave up the riches and all to do what he did. His father was king, and he would have been eventually also.
Buddhism was founded about 2500 years ago.
