I went to a school where I didn't know whether my teachers were single or married, what their sexuality was, or what they had in their pants. Because it had nothing to do with what I was supposed to be learning. Math, science, history, english. Not a single one of those subjects require I know I damn thing about my teacher's personal life.
I did know my geography teacher was a god damn communist though, because he refused to shut the hell up about that nonsense. It didn't have anything to do with geography, in any case, so I wish I hadn't been forced to know about his political perversions either.
In all my years of schooling, the first time I remember hearing a teacher bring up their spouse was in college. Before that, zero mention. You could infer it, from the fact that some of them were "Mrs" rather than "Ms", or because they got pregnant, but that's about it. None of them ever felt the need to let me know that they were married. Because I was their student, not their friend. The classroom is not the place to bring up your personal life for any reason.
If my class had time for the teacher to wax on about personal relations, they would have spent it either teaching lessons, or sneaking off and giving the class "sellf-study" while they took a bonus break.
And the only political belief that came forward was my philosophy and economics teacher was an avowed ancap. Went on rants frequently about how the students were wasting their lives in school learning worthless things like philosophy when they could be starting businesses, and the like.
Sometimes teachers would mention their wife (or vice versa) but I never heard any of them mentioning a thing about their sexuality. These people are heckin wierdos.

Really. When did all this nauseating chit chat about teachers' home lives become common?
My experience as well. Two of my teachers were married and I only found out at reunion years later.
