"When you're in a position of power, people will always, eventually, inevitably get a crush on you. As a teacher, you have to learn how to resist it and redirect it - these young adults all have two things in common: they did something stupid and were kicked out of their schools and are trying to get their GEDs, and their hormones are still going crazy. Do not get involved with them. It will only lead to trouble."
Cindy sat there listening intently, or as intently as she could when it was so dry. She felt young again. She'd finally gotten her teaching certificate from Duquesne University, a Catholic university, but a good school none-the-less. The principal continued to drone on, with a whole list of things she knew she shouldn't do. When he finally finished, she wiped the glaze from her eyes and stood up. "When can I see my classroom?" She asked with a pretty, red-lipsticked smile, the kind that made men half her age have to run to the bathroom to take care of business.
She was eager to get started. She'd gone through teaching school fairly late in life. She was in her early 60s now, and while she didn't imagine she'd have any trouble with these 18-year-olds getting crushes on her, she actually did care about teaching them and helping to produce a positive culture of learning, not just with these individual students, but helping to sort of ring in a New Renaissance in the U.S. New Renaissance? That's redundant, but you understand my meaning, I hope.
"Well, let's go see it now then! We can finish the paperwork later. Let's see here. You're in room 7B. Follow me."
She followed him out, and noticed he had a really tight butt for a white man his age. He must work out still. And maybe that little talk got her a tad worked up - something about an attractive silver-fox telling her what to do. Yeesh.
When they got downstairs to the room, the first thing she did was open the windows. The principal looked at her with a single eyebrow raised. "I know it's cold, but we need to air this place out." She said. "It's time to start fresh, snow-be-damned."
"Well, don't waste too much heat! I'll let you get setup and when you're done, come back to my office and we'll get you squared away paperwise."
She started laying out her pens and pencils and papers on her desk. Notes go in the drawer on the left, tape, stapler, and larger items in the larger drawer on the right. She was leaning out of her chair with her curvaceous butt clearly very round and visible when she heard someone knock and come in. She sat up very quickly.
"Hello, ma'am! Are you the new teacher?" He said. He had a boyish grin but was maybe late 20s or mid 30s even. He rolled the vacuum in further - still off. "Mind if I give you a once-over here?"
