14 Secrets Teachers Don’t Want You To Know

Teachers are very open and caring to their students. That being said, they still are human and have the same tendencies we all do. Whether it's talking about their kids or picking favorites, they have a few things they want to keep secret. 

They Do Care What Their Students Think Of Them

They might act like they don't care how they are perceived, but they really do. Everyone wants to be liked, even teachers.

They Have Very Selective Hearing

They know what you just said warrants detention, they just don't want to have to deal with disciplining you.

They Do Have A Life Outside Of School

School isn't their entire life. They enjoy going out and having a good time when they get a chance.

They Don’t Like Seeing Their Students Outside Of Class Either

Just as much as students hate seeing teachers outside of school, they feel the same way. They don't want anything to do with school after 3:00 p.m.

They Purposely Call On Kids They Know Didn’t Do The Homework

Teachers always know which students didn't finish the assigned work. You can always bet those kids are the first to be called on.

When They Say They Didn’t Have Time To Grade The Tests, That Usually Means Something Else

There are times where teachers get so busy, they can't get all their work done. Although, sometimes they just went out instead of grading.

Movie Days Are For When They Just Don’t Feel Like Teaching

Students can learn a lot from the movies they watch in class. Still, movie days are for when the teacher just doesn't want to deal with anything.

They Definitely Have Favorites

This might not be a secret. Sometimes it's pretty obvious that teachers favor certain students.

And Least Favorites

Just as they have their favorites, they have their least favorites. This one might not be as obvious as their favorite, but there is always one.

They Talk About Their Students With Other Teachers

Teachers gossip about their students with other teachers. They usually aren't talking about good things either.

They Get Just As Scared When They Are Called To The Principal’s Office

It's just as nerve racking for teachers as it is students. They usually have no idea why they are being summoned in the first place.

They Laugh At The Dumb Things Kids Put On Assignments

Even though they shouldn't, they can't help but laugh at certain things. The student will get in trouble, but that doesn't mean the teacher didn't have a good laugh.

Sometimes They Forget To Give Out Enough Grades Before Finals

As long as the semester seems, it actually flies by quick. So quick, that they forget to assign enough work. 

They Get Crushes On A Students’ Parents

Parent Teacher conferences aren't just for letting parents know how their kids are doing. Teachers are scoping out a potential crush too.

They Curve Tests That They Accidently Made Too Hard

After grading a test, they realize that everyone is failing. They have to quickly make a curve to prevent everyone from repeating the class.
