SMALL TALK SIX - My Teachers Did WHAT?!

Today's Small Talk Six topic is...

6 things you always wondered about any of your teachers or professors when you were in school

1. What kind of car did they drive - I don't know, but I've always been interested in knowing what kind of car a person drives. I guess it's just interesting to see who drives a clunker, who drives a fancy-schmancy car, who drives a truck, etc.
2. What did they do for fun - I mean, it was all business and very little play in school, right? Of course, now that I'm older I've actually run into teachers out in public...more specifically, in bars. Ha ha ha. I guess that answers MY question.
3. Why did they become a teacher - Was it their first career choice? Was it the easiest major in college? Was it due to a career change? Why, why, why? I almost became a teacher, but I dropped out of grad school. My heart just wasn't in it anymore.
4. If they could have any other profession in the world besides teaching, what would it be - because you and I both know that even the most passionate & dedicated teacher has thought a time or two about what he/she would rather be doing as a career from time to time...
5. Are they really THAT mean in real life - I mean, these are people who have friends and family outside of the classroom, right?
6. How many red pens do they go through in one year - if I just think back to all of the papers I had graded from elementary school on through college, well, there was a TON of red ink used on just my things alone!
