#10: Do I Know You?
When we were young, it was always a great shock to spot a teacher out in public. It was impossible to imagine them having lives outside of the classroom; in a way, it was downright mortifying seeing our teachers leading seemingly ordinary lives. We didn’t want to be reminded of our long, tedious hours inside the classroom; so, imagine how our teachers feel seeing us in public, too!
This teacher had the right idea. Having complete separation between your work and personal life sounds healthy. Everybody deserves to be completely off the clock, especially teachers, who have to deal with enough drama at school each day. So, the next time you spot a teacher in public, do them a favor and pretend you didn’t see them.
