Why is "हमें हमारे शिक्षक पढ़ाते हैं।" wrong?

Anyone know why this answer is incorrect?

हमारे टीचर हमें सिखाते हैं

According to my native Hindi speaker friends, they use टीचर instead of अध्यापक or शिक्षकों. And सिखाना (to make one learn) seems like it would work just as well as पढ़ाना (to make one study)?

सिखाते is fine. I think Duolingo has a problem with टीचर. Most Indians (especially from cities) make liberal use of English words while speaking Hindi (or rather 'Hinglish') but accepting too many transliterated words would perhaps defeat the purpose of Duo.

That said, I do agree that टीचर, डॉक्टर etc should probably be accepted given that it is much more common to hear them in casual conversation than their Hindi counterparts.

अध्यापक isn't accepted either. Should it be?
