Well, I always find it funny when teachers don't live perfect lives on their weekends. The funniest time was probably when my art teacher was missing for some time and then we found her in the counties most wanted list in the local newspaper for drug charges. We always suspected her of using heroin, but we didn't think she would skip going to court and leave town.  |

I mean sure there are some instances as you pointed out A. L. F. where teachers go over board. But on the whole there has got to be some release for them.  |

I was born in 1955, and in second grade my teacher let her gray hair down every day, she had a thermos that she "sipped" from all day, actually, I'm pretty sure she "sucked" it up all day, I didn't learn diddley squat that year and we did whatever we wanted, she never complained and no one cared. It was surreal by today's standards. And then my husband, went to those Catholic schools all through elementary, his knuckles were a mess. I think the nuns loved rapping those rulers back then, most of them were going through menopause and relied solely on prayer and the ruler as a vent. My daughter's high school advisor was a nun of course, the stories I could tell... what a trip.  |

We had those Catholic Nuns all through school and even sent our kids after we went through the regimen, how crazy is that? I remember when our Catholic school hired mostly "lay persons" to teach because the nuns and the priest just couldn't run the school with so much division, or diversion, whatever. It was a huge mess, and the nuns moved out, and I have no clue where they went, and the preist had to run the school with "lay persons" and then the preist went away 'cause their was a scandal that no one wanted to talk about and NOW I'm not Catholic anymore and blah, blah, blah.... |

I tend to try and keep any 'non pillarlike' activity well away from where I teach, kids do not have respect for any adult they percieve to be fallible...  |

I think they do have a right to their own private lives, but there are certain things that they have to be more careful of than people in professions who do not interact with children on a daily basis. If I saw my nephew or neice's teacher in front of a bar, I would definitely take note of it. Teachers have to maintain a very delicate balance between school and personal life. Most of the teachers that I know personally, live in another city from where they teach so they can maintain some personal privacy.  |

Both my parents are teachers, your answer is NOPE. I always find it surreal when I see a teacher outside of school, but then I realise I live with some...  |

BTW - the one piece of advice both my parents gave me for a career choice was 'DONT BE A TEACHER'. Nice thought... |

i remember there was this one teacher (a guy) that used to go to all the clubs and pubs his students used to frequent. There is a local pub that EVERYONE would be at every Thursday nite ~ he was ALWAYS there, blind drunk. There is a particular club that everyone would go to almost every saturday nite and he was also always there, blind drunk. he was harmless but always very very messy. his students always thought he was heaps cool and would talk to him and stuff, but he lost alot of respect in the classroom. while i think that teachers should definatley have a life outside the classroom, i think its important to be careful that you maintain the student/teacher relationship in such away that you are still a role model/authority figure  |

I think it is a matter of Privacy but Another way I Look at it Personally for me I would never do anything I would be Ashamed for Children to see me do... I remember in highschool, we had a teacher I'll call her "Betty" Anyway "Betty" brought her little thermos bottle to class each and every day.., by the end of the class you wondered just exactly what it was she had taught.., when we turned in the class assignment, it was quite obvious exactly what was inside "Betty's" little thermos bottle that she sipped throughout the entire class period.. What is so sad, other then the fact "Betty" was an alcoholic,, but her husband was on the school board as well.. Good Post.....T/C....  |

Another Very Important Issue to consider when we are discussing Professions directly involving children.. Had People's back grounds been more thoroughly investigated, there would not be any cases of reported child abuse with sexual molestation.. So when it comes to Children, how Impressionable and Innocent they are... I think we all should feel we would not do any thing that we would be ashamed of...I Guess it comes down to are we willing to walk a straight line,, conduct our lives properly..Personally, I do know if I had a child,, and went driving passed the local rowdy bar to get to K Mart and saw Teacher Or Coach, "John" totally inebriated.., I would not hesitate to remove my child from his classroom.. |

i think that whatever teachers want to do on the weekends and away from school is nobody's business. as long as they set a good example around the school kids it really shouldn't matter if they have a job stripping on the weekends.  |
