teachers
They assign homework
Teachers are people who instruct others, typically in schools or educational settings.
The word usually implies a profession—someone paid to educate students in subjects from arithmetic to art.
But teacher extends beyond classrooms: life can be a teacher, experience can be a teacher, and anyone who shows you something becomes one.
My piano teacher canceled our lesson.
Failure is the best teacher.
