Teachers are complex people. Those who persistently pretend that “professional burnout” will not scare them. People whose back instantly takes the form of a question mark as soon as they talk about salary. People who haven’t fully decided whether they love children or hate them. Teachers have both disadvantages and advantages. And yet, whatever one may say, it is with teachers that we spend the eleven longest years of our lives. And that's a hell of a lot! A lot has been written about teachers. But I want a little more. Tell, for example, about the secrets of the teacher's smoking room. Or share gossip about Anna Feodorovna. Find out to which warmer lands the labor teachers flew. Don’t blurt out about the affair... Oh, ugh, I almost blurted out! I want to talk about a lot. But let's start with the main thing: beards are to blame for everything! It was their machinations that pushed the trembling young man into the arms of pedagogy... Contains obscene language.
