There are too many crickets,
So lets have some fun
A new thread for smiles
Peg your teachers - or at least one!
P.S. I am only writing what you all think 
or told me privately!
Type #1 fairy:“The Boy (or Girl) Who Never Left”
This type of teacher has spent most of their lives on campus. There is a type of Peter Pan quality about this type. They attended BS, went to college, returned to teach and has been there ever since. There is one teacher like this at Kiddo’s school - grew up on campus, came back after college. Has pretty much lived in school housing their entire life. Same antics, also 
Has a distrust for anyone from “the outside”.
Type # 2: “The Social Justice Radical”:
Usually on the younger side (but might be a 1960’s hold-on), this teacher is committed to ideals of social justice. Has a captive audience at BS and believes his/her power to change young minds….hey, the BS campus is a safe and cheap place to be influencing youth.
Type #3: “The Professional HOS”
This might be someone who earned a Doctorate in Education. Often times, was an English major in college. Might have spent a few years actually teaching, but was always aiming for that HOS job with all the perks. Will jump from school to school in a HOS position, if things don’t pan out with the Board of Trustees, or if there is a scandal.
Type # 4: “The Academician Who Came In From The Cold”
This is the teacher who has a doctorate and/or did major research, but who couldn’t hack college level responsibilities or get tenure. It’s less stressful and more financially advantageous to take that Dept Chair position at a HADES, then be chasing after illusion tenure at a university. Much less paperwork and fewer responsibilities at BS (even as a dorm parent) compared to the grind of a faculty position at a college. Also, the politics are easier to navigate at BS compared to a major-name university.
Type 5: “The Coach Who Never Played”
OK - you know this type. Maybe they played one sport in high school and college. Wrestling. But, this type is a good “guy” or “gal” who gets along, stays in their athletic complex office, and is a good administrator.
Type 6: “The Novelist”
This type of teacher is taking advantage of the free housing and food (maybe also daycare) on campus while they write their novel. They resent any demands on them - like teaching, office hours, or meetings. They really resent being a dorm parent and do not dare interrupt them in the evenings while they are working on the novel.
Type 7: “The Sage of Campus”
This type is a legendary faculty member who everyone respects. Older, wiser, and pretty chill.
Type 8: “The Young Marrieds”
This is the couple who met in college or graduate school. They figured out the “great gig” of being BS faculty. Live in a nice house on campus, while their college buddies are in a 5-share apartment in NY. They have a great benefits package, also. So, it’s a great place to start a family - plus there is free childcare and (if they stay on for another 14 years, free tuition for the kids). Only problem is they are trapped.
Type 9: “The Ex of the Board of Trustee Member or Big Donor”
I have met this type a few times - twice in the Admissions office of a BS. One in the Development Office. They are elegant in appearance and manners. Maybe their child attends the school. They needed a place to live and to keep busy after the bad divorce.
Type 10: “My real life is in Vermont”
This is the faculty member who has a double-life. They seem restless to leave for their “real home” in VT, Maine, or The Cape. They endure life on campus during the week, but live for their real life at their second home. They have made a calculated financial decision. They are smart and rent out their second home on VBRO.
