If i had a penny for every one of my teachers that went to jail for being a jade witch then iâd have two pennies.
Itâs weird that it happened twice.
Besides that, i didnât realise how bad my school was until my other half had a look at its Ofsted reports for the years i was there.

woke up at 6:20 to go to work, almost got to the final metro station I need (after which itâs 15 minutes of tram + walking) when it gets announced that oops itâs not going any further after waiting for 10 minutes
no replacement transport, just regular bus lines, so now thereâs three peak traffic hour full metrosâ worth of people waiting for one singular bus to show up, very cool
it is 08:30 and i log in to work from home, but hey, at least weâre investing 10 trillion more into retired people

Oh boy I missed the teacher complaints. We also had philosophy and religion classes despite not being a religious school, I got assigned those instead of French as our optional choices (I didnât make mine in time so my head teacher made the decision that I ultimately am glad for, as the French teacher I heard was awful.)
However, the philosophy/religions teacher was our history teacher, who⌠was fired from his last teaching job at a different school for jade witchy behaviour. He certainly was eccentric and liked pretending like the classes had Middle Age customs, so heâd bow over and pretend kiss the girlsâ hands as a greeting or whatever.
Anyway, he certainly had a more interesting way to tell history that several of us liked, sort of storytelling vibe that youâd listen to more than a boring droning of history past teachers did. However, there was another supposedly jade witch incident at our school with a different classâs girl so he was about to be fired too, except everyone in our school started a petition to let him stay and collectively decided that the girl was just making it up due to having a bad grade.
Whatâs funny is that he was also like, a priest in some church or whatever, and ended up voting for the far right parties here. A sucky situation all around.

I had only ever 2 bad teacher examples. Others were gold.
My first english teacher was a drunk and always omega hungover/tipsy at school but that lady taught me really well in english so I canât really complain.

my three worst teachers was one I had in third class (third grade w/e) who spent more time in class talking to her lesbian co-worker slash partner and their dog than they did teaching us. i mean good for her but cmon you got kids to educate. my 1st year (7th grade) maths teacher who had a penchant for throwing dusters at kids heads and jumping desks to throttle them, and a substitute we had the following year who got caught straight up jorkinâ it in during lunchbreak in a classroom

I still remember fondly our old Math teacher, who had a reputation for being a really strict and tough teacher, nicknamed Iron Lady or smth like that and everyone was scared of her knowing sheâd be our next Math teacherâŚ
âŚonly for her to turn out to be a very sweet and kind grandmotherly teacher instead. If she ended up being strict with someone sheâd say âcan we please hug it out and move onâ, she really did care about the students and was the first Math teacher to actually make me understand it.
Obviously the school then ended up forcibly retiring her and the new Math teachers werenât really at her level, so a lot of the students ended up taking private tutoring lessons from her instead.

It can probably work, but I also feel like having your SO as your co-worker is just begging for struggles as there will be tension from both typical relationship drama and work at the same time.

I feel like your SO being your co-worker at a school is probably not going to work purely because it wouldnât live up to the hijinks Stucky !teacher AUs have going on in AO3.

Can we please make sure that everyone roleplays Earthern as the Elctor from Mass Effect.
Completely deadpan when speaking and having to directly explain their emotional state. Because I love that.

I had a few, one of them was very strict but not unpleasant, the other was either extremely funny or an absolute tyrant depending on how much you annoyed him (he also made rock music), and the other was quiet and boring but also his daughter was a nude model and people found out about that
Iâm breathing down your neck

Iâve seen at least one person do so, Iâve also seen people draw comparisons from KoTOR(?) too which is also a Bioware game so.
Confidently: I think Earthen should announce intent.

Two of my teachers had an affair which ended in one having a divorce and remarrying the other teacher. Catholic morals indeed.

They didnât make their own church to retroactively justify the divorce unfortunately
