Though the closed world of various institutions and orders is seemingly totally removed from day-to-day events as most people know them, this is not always the case.
The same desires, physical sensations and everyday wants that affect us are also part of the makeup of some of today’s established and respected institutions and professions. One has only to witness their increasing flight from cloister to hearth to school.
THEY TAUGHT TEACHER is the story of one such individual. Perhaps the product of stringent upbringing, Lana Simms seeks a release, though not one which is manifest in a conventional form—a cocktail party or weekend picnic or an evening at a movie. Instead, she pursues her most base ambitions and desires— those of the flesh—at the school where she works.
This is a work of fiction, yes, but a story providing insight into some personality stereotypes we may know less of than we think.
Lana thought the new suburban school was wonderful. And all the clean-cut students, dressed in the latest student fashions, were as squeaky clean as the school building itself. She was really looking forward to teaching here, and she knew she had lucked out in finding such an ideal teaching situation.
This would be her first job teaching both male and female students. For the past five years she’d been teaching at a religious, all-girl school in the heart of a large city, and it would be an adjustment teaching both sexes, but she looked forward to the challenge. She had few misgivings. These clean-cut suburban boys, all from respectable, wealthy families, certainly wouldn’t present her any problems. She hoped.
She knew very well how unpredictable and explosive boys could be at times. It had been an unfortunate encounter with a so-called boyfriend in high school which had caused her father to transfer her first to an all-girl school, then to send her to an all-girl college. And after college, to please her father, she’d chosen to teach at an all-girl religious school.
