Disagree on school teachers. Think about your teachers in grade school. Were any of them sane? Did they seem like people capable of a cool normal social life without a captive audience? No, they're all batshit fucking crazy. Not that we haven't all fucked crazy at some point.
Online dating is full of teachers and full of crazy and there is a correlation.
Dating a girl who used to strip now. Nothing is sexually off limits and it is gold.
Artists are overrated.
I had a couple younger schoolteachers that all the boys had a crush on when I was in elementary school. They were pretty good teachers too, I have fond memories. In fact none of my elementary school teachers fit your description of batshit loonies that need a captive audience, except one, and she was just insanely strict and downright mean more than anything.
My middle school and high school teachers were another story.
I think the size of your city and your age makes a huge difference too. My Elementary school experience would probably be considered a relic of times past (1985-1990). It was small, uncrowded, and a genuinely very healthy experience. Kids played outside, got roughed up, boys chased girls and pulled their hair, the occasional fight would break out but never anything serious, the teachers were genuinely good people, and California had not yet nosedived into its current nanny state chock full of helicopter parents and bullshit standardized testing. It was an idyllic setting and it all went downhill from there.
