Teacher’s Agonies
It is not easy to be a university lecturer with the battalions of beauties around you. Beauties that surpass many a beauty queen in excellence. It is not easy to concentrate on what you have got to teach, let alone find the appropriate methodology. No, my friend I desperately need your sympathy. I feel rotten in my stomach. I teach with my heart in my throat. I have often thought of giving up my job but failed. You might even say: I certainly shouldn’t be paid for teaching. I know it is me who has got to pay for being allowed to teach all those beauties.

I can’t make a decision either and say this or that beauty is my choice. No, I don’t want to dispense with any of them. I want all of them in their neat dresses and blouses. I like them the way they listen and write. I like them with their glasses, smart and knowing what everything is about. I like the way they pay attention to me because I am a man. I like their crazy hairdos. Their short hair reflects their intelligence. I like them when they sit next to me. All this has accumulated in me because I have gone through it for years now. I don’t know whether it is something special with me or whether other teachers walk around with the same feeling in them.

Hahahaha....it can be tough as a male teacher in this regard. It is bad enough in a mixed class of males and females. It sounds like this is an experience of being a male teacher in an all-girl school.

I can relate to this very well. nice write.

It's the same with men. If the teachers were handsome and manly with those muscles oh my. It's hard to control yourself. Here we have schools for girls and schools for boys I mean we haven't any male teachers.

Sara88: I am sure sure you are intelligent. There is no doubt about it. But since my eyes are despotic I need a photo. Maybe you can shorten your hair a bit to look like a career woman. It doesn't need to be as short as Mia Farrow's. Don't forget.

Amigos4: I have taken the two asprins you recommended but you forget to give me your phone number. It is urgent.

You should feel blessed, Jamshid, surrounded by beauty. It almost sounds like a harem! :lol:
Every day, I'm glad to finish my day and come home safe and you complain about beauty!

I feel sorry for Devil's tear not experiencing this atmospher. It's an interesting experience to have male colleagues and male teachers. Each student loves a side of her teacher and see it in her own view. I wonder what their wives think of the portrait.

Dr. J.,

You can call me at 1-800-LETS-LAUGH I am available 24/7... don't hesitate to give me a call.

I am willing to bet you a substantial amount of money that sara88 is too young to remember the many escapades of Mia Farrow! ;-) Can't you suggest an individual who might be a little more contemporary?

I am curious, my friend! What is your area of expertise at the university? I hope it is not Classical Ballet! :lol:

Cheers,
Amigos4

Amigo, you are right, I did never see that women, ok I google her name and...no comment...But Amigo tell me how did you know that I'm young, do u know my age:cool:?!
Dr. I wonder too how do you know that there's no doubt that I'm intelligent? is that just from the two lines I've wrote? another question:
Why do you think that by seeing a photo you will know if a person is intelligent or not? does intelligence means beauty to u?...again you are talking about hair, it really sounds weirdo to me, I love my lonnnnnnnng hair and I will never shorten it, it has nothing to do with my intelligence or my study or my work!!
Ok, I think we have to be logical in everything we say or do or even write.

Sara88: Sorry Sara I was joking with you about your hair. Don't take such things seriously. But I seriously believe your interest in language and literature shows you are intelligent.


Amigo4: I think you can't forget Mia Farrow. Her films are still shown on TV. I have seen some contemporary fashion models with short hair but I cannot keep their names in memory. Mia Farrow's was a strong personality. Amazing, how did find out about my passion for ballet? I really enjoy watching it.

Dr. J, you must be staying up awfully late at night to be watching Mia Farrow films! She certainly doesn't receive 'prime time' viewing in the States!

I remember the day that Mia cut her hair! It was a major 'scandal' in the press! I can't imagine what Frank Sinatra found so enticing about our little Mia!

Cheers,

It's much better believe me.
