Would you date a teacher?

[Elarra]

Well, would you? Most people hate teachers these days... I've been told a lot by men that my being a teacher is not attractive at all. Well, they think it's cool at first but then the more I talk to them the more they have nothing but negative things to say about my profession and it ends up that they don't respect it at all. It's never really anything about me directly... but I do get the 'teachers are unfair' and 'they don't do their jobs anyway' and 'they get paid for doing absolutely nothing' and blah blah blah...

This question is more for men, but I guess women can vote, too.

Yes

No

[ShortCircuit]

That's honestly just about the ideal job I'd want my partner to have. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she'd only have to work 7-8 hours a day, with the weekends off, plus Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, Spring break, and Summer break. I guess I have a similar impression of teachers to most of the guys you talked to, but I see it as a positive thing. All I'm hearing is that I'd get to spend more time with her.

It would be even more ideal if she taught young kids, because I'm sure it's a lot less stressful. Plus, an average of 40k per year would be more than enough of a contribution since I should end up making up to 70k and I'm content with a 1-bedroom apartment and no kids.

Some teachers do a very good job and put in a lot more hours than they are actually paid for. Others do a very poor job.
The ones that do good, I think would make good parents, so they would make a good partner. But if she spends too much time with it and doesn't come home to spend time with her own family, then it would be a problem.

As a student, I can really appreciate how hard teachers work. The most annoying thing is that some people think a teacher's job ends once school closes. No way; there are lesson plans and homeworks that need marking and you can't half-ass them. I'm so lucky to have had amazing teachers who put in the time because they really care about how well their students do.

[KnightCastor]

Those are some pretty stupid reasons to not date a teacher. I don't really care what a person's profession is as long as it's something they can support themselves with... and it's not illegal. What do they mean "teachers do nothing"? Have you seen some of these bad-ass kids these days?

[backtoblackkkk]

It's strange that people would judge others on a romantic level by their career. Lol it's just funny to me when people do that. I see nothing wrong with dating a teacher but I wouldn't do it because I'm still a student XD

[JohnDoe3000]

Yes, but probably not an elementary school teacher though. Being a teacher isn't a turn off to me, though it would suck to be tied to the school holidays for vacations (everywhere is scorching, overcrowded with Asian tourists and expensive).

[goaded]

Of course, anyone who can put up with multiple children on a daily basis deserves a ton of respect. If they can get them to take something in, so much the better.

My children are angels, of course, it's just the other ones that are a pain.

[Peachman]

No because the kids they would be teaching would be assholes etc and they would likely have headaches every day + its kinda illegal for a student to date a teacher

[0112358]

Sure.

They are as a group overpaid where i live, but that's the union being strong and the government being corrupt, not individual teacher's fault.

[Atreyu]

I Reaaaaally don't like teachers... I voted no. but I could be convinced I guess? but I mean... I REALLY don't like them.

no offence of course :)

[Elarra]

How can you not like someone solely based on their career?

[Atreyu]

I know.. it's just, THAT career.
could you try being a terrorist or a lawyer or something? lol

[Atreyu]

I really don't mean to be a dick either. I'm sure you're a really cool person who is passionate about her career.

and that itself is a good thing

[capturemyheartnow]

No , never. Their life is too complicated. They don't have peace of mind when they bring work at home. And they have to keep on revising the next days topics all the time.

[DareAttracted]

If I were a man I would not. A teacher is a job most women take so they can leave and become homemakers instead. Laziness to me. They also don't make shit.

[Elarra]

Of course, because that's why teacher's never reach retirement age because they leave it a couple years in.

Seriously, that comment is completely ignorant. Actually, I think this will probably be the most ignorant comment for this question. It makes no sense, plus you just insulted women who are not teachers and are homemakers. Homemakers are not lazy at all. I'm actually more annoyed you insulted the homemaker than the teacher...

[DareAttracted]

And I really don't care about your feelings.

[Elarra]

You cared enough to reply lol, let's not tell lies boo.

[lobate]

No idea why that'd be an issue and as far as marriage goes there are great health care benefits for the whole family. Seems like a win win.

[Oram52]

Teachers are one of the most respected professions. Public always defends teachers. In regards to dating teachers I have no problem.

[Kacik]

maybe it is respectable where you live, but definitely not here. Public gets angry if teachers have a raise - the raise being around 2% and since we have around 720 USD per month, it is really not that much... parents get angry when kids get homework, they get angry at the teacher for failing the kid (and here it is very difficult to fail - you literally must do nothing)... and so on...

respectability of a profession is dependent on the country you live in

[Oram52]

@Kacik Oh what state/country do you live in?
In UK teachers get decent/good pay, and not the kind of problems you're describing.

$720 really is low pay that is only 8K. I'm surprised teachers aren't quitting. And angry because kids get homework, they're not suppose to? Odd. If kids don't do well of course they have to fail. We definetely don't have these problems here.

[Kacik]

Czech Republic... and yes - angry - they complain about it at PTA meetings (if they come at all - the last time 4 parents came. I teach 150 kids). They complain that they have to do homework with them (they dont and shouldnt), it is not more difficult than stuff we do at school). it is twice as much as the lowest allowed wage, though, so it is not THAT bad. However university is required (and rightly so), but we and Hungarians get the least money in all EU - as teachers. Whenever I read an article about teachers in online news (and it can be anything - something coming out of ministry, talk about our wages, an incident a parent put into newspaper, a competition, summer break,..) and you look into discussion the public is mostly against teachers... but I commented here - for a better insight www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a47637-5-hilarious-yet-inappropriate-things-parents-have-said-to-me-a When I lived in UK, everyone was respectful towards teachers, even in private

[varol]

if she is a good person and good with her work i would date her.
teachers are like other profissions, there are the good, neutral and bad ones.

[simple-question]

I did and it was great. Best teacher I ever had, literally. She was worried for awhile but she calmed down.

[John_Doesnt]

I don't like kids and I assume a teacher likes kids.

[jacquesvol]

I'm married to a teacher.
So is our son (He's a teacher too)

[TacosRAwesome]

I would if we got along. I have quite a few friends who are teachers.

[Unit1]

I have a crush on my math professor. I really miss her :(

[Kuraj]

I would date a teacher, but I would still think it is a pretty crappy job.

[Waffles731]

sure, but I don't actually want kids so I don't know if a Teacher would do that

[Himig_Ng_Pag-ibig]

Yeah I've always wanted to bang my teachers and just teachers in general

[AydenHazor]

I have dated a teacher and would definitely do so again

[Omar5881]

If she's Spanish or french teacher I'm freaking down

[Omar5881]

OH it says date not fuck , well yeah lol
