Do you consider a teacher as a scientist?

Often times teachers who teach science or a field of science such as Chemistry or Biology were at one time chemists, biologists, etc. And even if the teacher never has worked in the field, but only has taught, they can still be considered a scientist due to one definition that states: "A scientist is a person having expert knowledge of one or more sciences, especially a natural or physical science."

This applies to teachers teaching a science subject, though it would obviously not apply to a teacher of a non-science subject.

Why did ernest rutherfordbecome a scientist?

Is it a joke? If so, you are like me. When I was a student, I had an habit to ask such questions. But when I became teacher, I studied biographies of scientists. Then I learned how interesting it is to become a scientist. I taught Chemistry for five years at secondary level. Now I am doing masters in computer science, to solve the basic science problems with the help of computer technology. I have added a link to Britannica.com for his biography. Please check it and get some inspiration. Have a super day!
