Yeah, these guys have my meaning correct. In my mind, the difference between teaching and educating is the same thing as the difference between an "instructor" and a "teacher" and explaining my definition of education might be better illustrated using these titles. An instructor is usually hired (often by a community college) to open a book and deliver curriculum to students. Sometimes, personal anecdotes or experiences are peppered in but for the most part, it's cut-and-dry. A teacher on the other hand delivers curriculum using their own string of lessons and methods. A teacher gives part of his or her experience to each student giving them more then a simple instructor ever could.
