I teach here, and half this city knows my face

- Eight years, two dynamics, both conducted quietly.

I have taught in the same few square miles for twelve years. I cannot go to a supermarket without being greeted by somebody whose child I taught, and their parents talk to each other constantly, and that is the entire reason this post exists in the form it does.
Thirty nine, Coral Gables, submissive, eight years in.
The rules I live by: nothing with my face in it, nothing written anywhere that could be read by somebody else, no meeting anywhere between the school and my home, and no evening that ends with me being seen. I am not being dramatic. Two people I work with lost jobs over things far milder than this and the district did not blink.
Inside those rules I have plenty to give. I am organized, I am extremely reliable, and I am used to being told what to do by people less competent than me, so being told what to do by somebody competent is a genuine pleasure.
What I want is an ongoing dynamic, once or twice a week, with real expectations between meetings. Service rather than spectacle. Correction that is spoken.
If you are the sort of person who tests limits for fun, my caution will look like a game to you, and it is not one. I have watched this happen to colleagues. Please find somebody with less to lose.
