Art Teachers Easy to spot because they often wear berets and outlandish costumes and display a color sense unknown to their fellows. Most have been to France or are planning a trip there soon. They will be more liberal than conservative, probably more familiar with voodoo magic than most, likely to wear amulets to ward off evil spirits, and unpredictable. They will also be more interesting than some others, more talented and creative and original in thought and deed. Few of 'em ever get promoted because of these severe liabilities which are considered anathema in administrators and, indeed, are seldom found in their ranks.
Art teachers are fun at parties, too.
Business teachers teach bookkeeping, typing, filing, copy machine mechanics, business law, retailing sales and other fascinating subjects that so enthrall teen-age minds. These guys are punctual, orderly, neat, and predictable. Principals often pick 'em to head up committees because they take good notes. In any group, a business teacher is always assigned secretarial duties because, well, nobody else wants to do it. Many business teachers have businesses on the side or elaborate business backgrounds and are handy to have around when tax questions arise or stock market info is needed.
