You are so right, teachers shouldn’t have to worry about it! But it’s today’s reality I guess.

My favorite teacher was Mrs Clark. She taught literature and we loved her so much in jr high that when she moved to the high school, we were overjoyed 😄 In jr high, my memory of her was a plump, sweet lady who gave us our assignment, usually after reading us a story, and then sitting back to crochet and have her Snickers bar while we were reading. In high school, she had lost so much weight and she was so short, she looked like one of the students. All of us wanted to take her class, and when we did, she let us read -and act out- plays like Romeo and Juliet and The Diary of Anne Frank! We just adored her.

It is sad that this has become common enough in America society that we have to plan for it.
