Adrian was living the dream. He was a teacher. The school board had just passed a resolution opening the possibility of hiring non-education certified people as teachers if their experience fit. Shortly thereafter, one of their Spanish teachers retired. He was an older gentleman who apparently had been teaching at the school for a very long time and was known for being rather “crusty”.
Well anyway, one thing led to another and suddenly Adrian was teaching high school English. He soon came to realize that not only had he landed his dream job, but he had landed it in one of the most affluent schools in the state. This school put some college facilities to shame. He taught in a small lecture hall that was larger than any regular classroom he’d ever seen. He even had his own private office that adjoined the room.
The students seemed to like him, too. He guessed they liked having a teacher that was a bit younger. Some of the students had commented that he “pick stories that don’t suck”. His friend, Paul, had given me some warning about how to handle a classroom,
“Never let them see you sweat and that sort of thing”,
He had been managing pretty well. The one thing he wasn’t prepared for was how attractive some of the students were. He swear the girls didn’t look like this when he was in school. Some of them seemed so mature, and well…built. He mentioned it, very delicately, to Paul and he told Adrian, “You just have to put it out of your head, man, or it’ll drive you crazy.” Something about the way he said it sounded like speaking from experience, but Adrian didn’t question him any further.
The subject was very uncomfortable for him. But he had to push on. Today's class were filing in. He cleared his throat and began,
"Good morning class. For those who have not met me yet, I am Mr. White."
