I retired from teaching after 25 credited years. I have an observation that may interest you:

Some teachers are motivated to teach because being in school was the best part of their lives. When they become teachers, they continue in school. Because of that, they have never learned to separate school from the real world. They live in a Peter Pan world.

U guys don’t get it. The young teachers are in to marathon sex. They could wait until the student is 18. That’s where it gets strange.

Now that makes sense. Looking back I can see your point pretty clearly.

Also students know what’s going on between students and teachers. ....always!

I never really thought about it that way and it sounds just about right.

I met several people over the years that said they would love to go back and be in high school again. Not just to be young again but because high school was so great. I have no idea how anybody could have let their life go so much as to want to be back in high school.

The only good thing about high school for me was playing football and hockey, then hunting and fishing with my family on the weekends. I never had time to have to hang out with the kids from school. School itself was just a step toward what I wanted to do in life for a career. Even though I had some fun in college I mostly worked and went to classes. Since I graduated with two science degrees I spent most of my time either in class or doing homework, then working to make some cash so I could eat and pay my utility bills.
