where were these teachers when I was growing up? I only had a creepy old dude following me around
Same here, it seems like you had to be 35 in order to get a job teaching at our HS district. There were none of these 24 and 26 y.o. teaching HS.
Although, since some men typically age better, there were a couple male teachers in their mid-30s who seemed young for their age, by their appearance. And there were girls - hot girls - wanting to bone them. I'm not exaggerating.
Some girls were more coy about it and used less explicit language such as 'he's soooo cute for a teacher' but other girls were like, seriously trying to get wit dem. They would go up to the teacher's desk and practically try to sit on their lap. I've seen one ask the teacher for their phone number or ask if its OK for them to call the teacher at home this weekend, in case they needed any "help" with their homework. The restraint it must have taken was nothing less than heroic.
