My kids are convinced I'm about to marry an ex- teacher at school as I always talk about him... but the only thing that stops them is that they also think he's gay... He is gay of course. But hey, maybe we will still get married! Hilarious!

He is gay of course. But hey, maybe we will still get married!

Dave from Geography was a top bloke, and he knew the difference between "discrete" (which means "comes in separate blobs") and "discreet" (which alludes to the better part of valour). It is worth noting that Gary the head teacher, Gladys, one of the assistant heads and almost everyone else at Woodrow Wilson were very supportive of Dave during the whole nine days wonder of his "outing" and he looks back on those days now and laughs. OldAndrew,

Sexuality isn't actually the issue - the thought of getting under the skin and winding the teacher up is the aim of the exercise! Lilyofthefield - I think your spot on.

The kids who would normally be delighted to take a pop at a teacher of whose sexual orientation they had no idea just leave them alone. Either they're too confused when faced with the genuine article to know what to do ["You're gay, you." "Yes, I am."] or sexuality is not the actual issue; winding up the teacher by whatever means are at their creatively limited disposal is.
