Before I begin, I feel obliged to insist I don't mean the title of this post in a remotely earnest fashion.
A few weeks ago, I was informed that one my year 9 girls has a photo of me and another male teacher on her wall at home. I've tried not to think about that. I'd convinced myself her attentions were just that of someone seeking a father figure. I still believe that, by the way.
Now today one of my year 8 boys has summoned me over to his computer to show me the photo he keeps of me on his USB drive. I shouldn't be that surprised, given that he stands every recess outside my window, calling my name and pointing at me. It's still odd though. Isn't it? (And now some other kids are Googling me. Thank God they don't know how I spell my name.)
I try not to dwell on these things and, really, I should be grateful, given a colleague recently discovered a year 10 had a photo of her cleavage as his wallpaper. I think of couple of the older male teachers asked him for a copy.

I think I'm envious of them - none of my teachers were either young or hot.
The boy, however, sounds a little troubling, or should that be troubled?
He is a bit odd, but a good lad. I had quite a hot SOSE teacher when I was at school. We were all convinced she was having an affair with the Maths teacher. Whose surname was Spice.
I think if you became a teacher because you wanted teenagers to think you were hot then you should take a good hard look at yourself. And possibly realise you're a Phys Ed teacher.
I had a phys ed teacher, who was also a maths teacher, who was a very closeted lesbian. She used to give lollies to the cute, popular girls. Seriously. It was high school, too. She can't have been very much older than we were either... lol
Ha! We used to have a history teacher who would tempt all of the ballet girls into his office with promises of baci chocolates. He was 42, lived at home with his parents and was later accused of being a serial killer. Also, his face was always shiny with vaseline.
his face was always shiny with vaseline disturbed me more than the age, the serial killer accusations, or the 'here little girl, have a lollie (aren't baci chocs vaguely nippley?)' act. I really don't get that.
Yes! That was the most disturbing aspect for me as well. He used to keep a bucket of it under his desk, I think, and would regularly emerge with his face in greasy hands.
