NOT A SEXY PROFESSION

Apparently, teaching is not a sexy profession. A friend of mine who pretends to be an expert in chasing women says, "Never tell a woman you are a teacher. Nobody wants to go to bed with a teacher."

Why is that?

Maybe it's because people don't respect teachers, for some reason, in this country. In Europe, I understand, teachers are held in higher esteem. I don't know if they get more dates or have more sex.

Maybe teachers are not popular because they are "a bunch of weirdos," as a friend of mine says. BTW, she is a teacher, too. 

Maybe teachers are not sexy because they don't have any power outside the classroom, and they don't make much money.

Let us all feel sorry for the poor teachers, who apparently don't get enough nookie. I hope that doesn't hurt their ability to teach.

Most teachers at the elementary school level are smart enough, but not intellectual at all. They fit inside the box. And it's a very tight box. Same thing for the administrators too. I have been very disappointed in the minds of teachers I have met during my son's education. Now at the jr high level, that is changing somewhat.

Maybe they are narrow minded. Most of the teachers I know are also actors or writers or musicians or filmmakers. So they are not typical.
