Were FinnWing & Angela Teachers?

 At the beginning of last class, Prof. G asked whether we viewed LinKai as a teacher. While I definitely viewed LinKai as a teacher, it was harder for me to view last week's presenters in the same light. For some reason, I thought of FinnWing and Angela as students giving a presentation, not as teachers teaching a lesson. I think it had nothing with the presentation itself, or their ability to present and perform in front of the class. Instead, I believe it's because they were presenting together. It's rare for teachers to teach a lesson together, perhaps mostly for economic reasons (not enough teachers per student), while it is very common for students to give presentations together in a class. Thus, when FinnWing and Angela were presenting together, I subconsciously identified them as students because of my past experiences in school. However, because LinKai was presenting on his own, it was much easier for me to view him as a teacher.
