The idea when I first read the quote "the teacher is the fountain of all knowledge" was to find first the origin of the frase and who said it it first, the when and what they meant back then. I think my text is going to be a bit ambiguous now since I failed to get those answers through Google, the one part of internet I will praise as a new fountain of knowledge.
Getting back to the main quotation, I would say that teachers are the base of the fountain, like bricks surrounding it to hold all the "water" of the said "fountain". Today where knowledge can be acquire so rapidly from a young age at ones fingertips, I would say that the idea of what a teacher is nowday is a bit different than when the quote was first mentioned.

Tricky maybe because I been living in the U.S. for quite sometime now and have come to thing that things out there aren 't much different than here since as a super power it affects much of other cultures, or I just have not experince much else lately and by trying to go back to what I know of Brazil I think the information I might be providing it isn 't as valid and current as when I was there 16 years ago as a teenager. I kind of get confused, wether I am being asked my view as where I am originally from, as in "your country", or are you asking me my current knowledge on the subject now, in the country I am standing on. Well to make it short and concise I think both locations do not differ much, roles of teachers are to provide information and the student to absorb, assimilate and put it in practice, either in the real world or in the class room.

But to better answer the question I find my current type of learning environment where you have to search for what you being asked for or in your own go get it, much like a treasury hunt, way more estimulating than sitting through a lecture and listening to one person who has all the reason and the mighty power of knowledge. However I do think that there different types of teachers, and if you one can teach by creating debates and discussion through out the lecture and with out pressuring but instead sharing and exchanging information, it can be as great as searching for it in our own or even more exhilarating, but we always got to put in consideration the environment, state of mind of each individual present, and how each one contributes for general growth. In other hand, it can get nightmarish, if none of those factors mentioned are in balance and common goal is not principal, one will be much more successful by learning on their
