Were you weirded out by seeing your teachers outside of school

My hometown is very small and it is very normal to see teachers outside of class over there. Sometimes they are caught shopping or in the park playing with their children. But just as you said, something happens inside when we see them in that position. I suppose once we start seeing them everyday in the class we tend to imagine them as just always teaching. So we might get little shocked to find them elsewhere. I went through this. Most often I tried to avoid them by hiding somewhere. I am not sure why I did that. Perhaps, I had fear that they would make a comment about why I was there.

I always thought it was so cool. I would get really excited about it. Now we live in a suburb and most of the teachers live in the area, I see my kid's teachers and ex teachers out and about all the time. I even saw the principal of the elementary school at Old Country Buffet once, that made my kids kind of nervous and they kept staring at him.

I didn't mind bumping into one of my teachers outside of school. it was just a little awkward if i was with some friends. It would be hard to know what to do or say that wouldn;t be embarrassing to anyone.

Yes when I was younger I felt like what is he or she doing here, almost as if it was not normal to see a teacher off of school grounds. Now as an adult I would not mind at all as of course I understand they now have lives. But I do remember as a child in a park festival and seeing my teacher there enjoying himself I thought it was odd. lol

I think I had this experience once when we saw our grade school teacher with her foreign boyfriend. We spied on the couple since it was very usual to see a foreigner in our area. Then, with our innocent minds, we saw our teacher kissing the foreign guy. We were all in shock and we never saw our teacher in the same light again. We never did tell any of our classmates since we could be accused of making up a story but that was the breaking of reality for me as student. I mean, it was weird for a kid to see her beloved and oh-so-sweet teacher in romantic action. By time, I stepped into the higher levels, I realized that teachers actually have lives outside the classroom. Perhaps as students we never bothered to know. We only cared about our lives and we did take our teachers for granted. I did some growing part and in the course of my studying, I saw more of my teachers as mature friends. I never did fit in within my age bracket and I find more sense and more quality conversation with my professors compared to the rest of my classmates. I have my own set of friends, but I ran to my favorite prof when I need serious advice. In return, I give him dating advice. I don;t think my classmates would believe if I told them.

Hi mega, you did ask something that most people, especially mischievious ones, would have had a fear in their minds in their childhood days. Actually i was such a naughty boy in my childhoods and for sure i never enjoyed seeing or visiting my teachers somewhere outside since, i always feared that they would tell something not good about me to my parents! But as i grew up and got matured enough, i was the one who used to go and see them whenever i could get a chance for that. :)
