Any of you ever dated a teacher before?

I’m talking to one currently. She’s a stereotypical teacher in that she constantly complains and whines about everything.

I'd bet my life savings and 401K that the OP (cbree88) could not handle teaching at a public high school for 1 month. Matter of fact, you'd probably quit in less than a week.

I too married an educator with a Master's degree, who teaches severe and profound special education students in a rural poverty-stricken Parish. She loves the kids and will step up for their needs. Sadly, most of the parents only care about getting their childs monthly "government check". These same parents often times forget to administer their kids medication which makes it harder for the teachers to control the kids. One kid stands in the corner and jumps all day. One is non-verbal who ambulates with a wheel chair and has a colostomy bag, and one is a "runner". As soon as the class-room door opens, this kid takes off like Usain Bolt and he constantly has to be monitored. My wife rarely complains as she understands the difficulties knowing SHE chose this profession. She will put in another 3 years and retire at 50.
