We have all wondered about what teachers do in their free time. When we were little, we used to think teachers lived in their classroom. Even though we now know that isn’t true, we still don’t know much about our teachers. Do they go fishing or bowling, play video games, or even sing? As strange as it may seem, many teachers enjoy participating in a lot of the same things as students do.
Some teachers play their music in class, but usually it’s music their students want to hear, so students don’t know what teachers listen to outside of school. It could range from tribal chants to Bollywood to chart topping pop or hip-hop songs. They might enjoy a good power ballad or a head banging rock song just as much as we do. We’ve all wondered what songs make teachers jump in their room and sing in their car. Let’s see if you know your teachers as well as you think you do.
