"The Teacher" is a song by Scottish rock band Big Country, released in 1986 as the second single from their third studio album The Seer. It was written by Stuart Adamson and produced by Robin Millar.[2] "The Teacher" reached No. 28 in the UK,[3] and No. 14 in Ireland.[4] A music video was filmed to promote the single.[5]

Critical reception

Upon release, Duncan Wright of Smash Hits commented: "Another very Scottish guitar anthem, monstrously epic and a definite case of Adamson taking himself too seriously once again. Big Country sound as though they've just wheeled out another ode to their own majestic tediousness."[6] In a review of one of the band's 1986 concerts in Los Angeles, Sharon Liveten of Billboard stated: "Live, "The Teacher" was transformed from a typical, anthemic, Scottish-sounding Big Country tune into a melange of psychedelic/metal/folk guitars."[7]
