It is the hope of all teachers that some of their students will surpass them, or at least have a broader/ deeper understanding of the lessons they teach.
The humble student will only surpass their teacher in the eyes of students.
I don't think we should dwell on such things, anymore than we should consider ourselves more practiced than our partners. We do what we must, we find knowledge where we can, and we try to use what little brains we have is the best manner possible ... praying our teacher doesn't decide to thrash us like rag doll because our heads have become swollen from praise.
