Anyhow, I think he was an author and not used to being recognized. As it happened, he stopped at a pharmacy to buy Preparation H, and it was there that the unlucky fellow was recognized. Before long, he had a regular entourage following him around the store. He couldn't even dump the Prep H somewhere. He was mortified.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078027953947411411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12094749.post-29477074921763752262007-06-20T16:32:00.000-04:002007-06-20T16:32:00.000-04:00I really enjoyed this entry. I too am a teacher, ...I really enjoyed this entry. I too am a teacher, and I disagree with how teachers are put under the microscope. I have very strong feelings about keeping my privacy when out. I don't mind if a student says "hi" to me out in the "real world" so to speak. It makes me feel good, but I certainly don't want anyone passing judgement on where I'm at, how I'm dressed, if I'm drinking in a bar (of coure not next to students' parents), or what I have in my shopping cart. I agree that many students don't give it much thought that their teachers have lives of their own, not to mention private lives. It's like we're these robots that live at school and that's it. I remember when I was younger. There were times when I saw a teacher out (usually in elementary school), and I was so excited to see them, and I'd walk right up to them and greet them with a big smile. I loved my teachers as a child which is one of the reasons why I wanted to be one. I do remember my health teacher from elementary and middle school walking out of Tops once and I saw with beer and/or smoking. I did pass judgement on her only b/c she was the one that told us that "drinking was bad/unhealthy and so was smoking" and that we shouldn't do it. I remember thinking "what a hypocrite". I, understand of course, now that it was her "job" to do so. Great topic today...really got my juices flowing.

What made it worse was that she had been teaching for almost 30 years and everyone knew her!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694506024825501859noreply@blogger.com
