I haven't really seen anyone give a reason as to why teacher rank should be removed in this thread, except the argument that other players can help newcomers even if they don't have a teacher rank, which I don't really think is valid. Just because other people are able to help, doesn't mean there shouldn't be people who are considered "designated helpers".
A point I would like to make, is that players who does not hold the teacher rank are not restricted by guidelines or expected to be truthful when asked for help, which doesn't make them quite as trustworthy as players who are, and let's be honest, there are a lot of people who like to troll others when given the chance.
I'm not quite sure if it's the rank you are against or if you just don't like that players who hold the teacher rank gets a few benefits. I don't see anything wrong with individuals, who dedicate themselves to help others on the server, receiving some benefits for their efforts.

I am against the rank and the benefits that comes with it, you shouldn't receive a rank and benefits for answering questions and be helpful, that's just plain wrong, everything is wrong with that. Helpful and generous people don't need a rank, they're humble. Those that want a rank that comes with benefits generally means they're doing it all for an interest, have goals and possibly an agenda, not out of genuine eagerness to help. 

And I completely disagree with you about other people not being trustworthy and trolls, what makes a teacher more trustworthy than others? Aren't they supposed to be regular experienced members that volunteer to make the community a better place? Because that was the original idea and intention.

And if anything, these restricted guidelines and expected honesty can be used as an illusion and make a teacher more cunning and deceitful. You don't need restricted guidelines to help and be caring, these are traits that can be found in honest and good people. If the teachers really want to help out, promote RP, host mini events and really enjoy in helping others, then why do they need a rank that comes with benefits? I thought they enjoy in helping others, they can do just that without being a teacher that comes with benefits.
The only downside of not being a teacher is not having a rank that stands out from others, have the ability to give RPPs, change weather (in the past), increased prop limit, the expected honesty and the trust from the staff and others. Some members that I will not name that I know, became teachers because they wanted staff, some have become as a result, so there's that as well, an agenda.
