As promised in reply to missbliss's advantages and disadvantages of going out with a medical student below are the advantages and disadvantages of going out with a teacher, in particular an English teacher. Personally I think teachers and doctors go quite well together, I think my gran would agree, she was a teacher and my grandad was a doctor.
Disadvantages:
- They always beat you at scrabble
- They have too many books
- They shout at you like you’re a child and are actually quite scary *cowers*
- They are always stressed with paperwork/marking/other school crap
- They use their ‘classroom tactics’ on you to make you do things that you don’t really want to (or is this just a thing that all girls do?)
- They get too many bloody holidays!
- You get an idea just how shit schools are, and what a state some of the children are.
- They have no patience left after a day at school so you always have to be on your best behaviour or face their wrath.
- They have good classroom hearing and always hear when you mutter under your breath
- They have the ability to phase out people talking to them, consequently you often get ignored.
- When you’re out, every child is a potential disaster area and if said child falls over or does something naughty they are first on the scene.
- You’re the teacher’s boyfriend so whenever you pick them up from school you get stared at.
- They are great at checking blog posts/projects/other writing for punctuation and grammar
- They are generally clever and can therefore just about keep-up with you when you babble about medical stuff
- They are CRB checked so are probably not psychotic murderers
- They can teach you really well about stuff you don’t know how to do. (Spelling in my case – no more spelling definitely with an a)
- They’ve always got interesting stories about school and children
- They can tell you about good books so you don’t have to go reading any old rubbish
- They have resources and can tell you all about special needs in education. (Very useful when you have to do a presentation on said topic aimed at teachers)
- You get to tag along with trips to the theatre (I wasn’t sure if this was an advantage or disadvantage but on the whole its been good so far)
- They are great potential parents and so are useful to hang on to for the future
- They get long holidays and so can look after you when you have long days.
- They are organised and can keep track of all your important documents when you just have them in a big pile
