7. Oh please!

When was the last time you actually saw what goes on in a school over a period of time instead of reading about one day in the life of an obviously disturbed individual who just happens to be a teacher. I can think of many distrubed individuals in other professions, such as in the executive branch of the USA.

11. I'm sure she's all sweetness and light.

Or stern but caring.

She had to wear some kind of mask so that people would entrust their children to her.
