As another commenter pointed out, it is inappropriate for a teacher to discuss their private lives with students. I don’t think I ever heard ANY of my teachers, from K thru 12, even so much as mention a spouse or fiancée. The only inkling I ever got was in second grade when my teacher changed her last name. But that’s all we knew.
That’s old style.
Many of these girls today live their lives on Farcebook, Tweater, and InstaSpam and share it with the kids.
The only thing I remember about my school teachers’ spouses was when my third grade teacher’s husband was killed in an AF crash. Can’t remember how I learned about it.
My fifth grade teacher (circa ‘64-’65) told us about her Air Force officer fiance. He came to school to meet the class once. That was tough for us guys. Teacher was very hot and we had very mixed emotions meeting the guy who was going to claim her as his own. But being a handsome Zoomie officer in uniform was way cool.
With semi-broken 5th grade hearts we approved of her catch!
#20. Going back a long time, to about 1953, my 2nd grade elementary teacher showed us pictures of her WEDDING, esp. her dress and the cake. Also had a photo of her and her husband feeding each other a piece of the wedding cake.
We thought it was great and she was beautiful enough to have been a Miss America. Never will forget Miss Silverman, and she was a very good teacher too.
Back in those days, you knew your teachers and often their families who lived in your neighborhood. They were part of the community and were always welcomed as teachers back then were well trained, patriotic citizens, and just good people.
Today, it’s a crap shoot and the crap is winning.
A{PS I was married to a teacher, often spoke at schools about science/paleontology-fossils, and attended a lot of PTA meetings with my parents at elementary, junior high, and high school - where parents were deeply involved in school affairs in a positive manner}.
Those were the “good old days” and I wish they would be brought back, for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
