Right? "Made me cry on a school trip" (for reasons that I'm sure we're totally out of line on the teacher's part and omitted just for brevity's sake)

I dunno, some teachers are sadists too proud or ugly for a career path more in line with their personality.

Dawn, imagine being so ugly that there is no career path that is in line with your personality available.

I'm thinking about the teachers I had in school and trying to work out what they would be doing if they couldn't have been teachers.

Some of them definitely would have worked in HR. Being the teacher was their access to a world of petty vindictiveness where they were absolute rulers and could do whatever they wanted.

several of the teachers at my school were retired lawyers or other professionals. Most were there with masters and by choice. (Public school, for the record). Not everyone's district pays them so little
