You’ve seen them around, and even if you haven’t, you’ve certainly heard about them. Each teacher in your child’s elementary school carries a unique reputation, often fitting into one of these twelve archetypes:

1. The Veteran: This teacher has mastered the art of classroom management, striking the perfect balance between discipline and nurturing. Somehow, they’ve thrived for thirty years without losing their spark. You’ll find yourself hoping your child is in their class.
2. The Fashionista: Her wardrobe is a marvel, leaving you to wonder how she can afford it on a teacher’s salary. The little girls adore her for her style and charisma.
3. The Bombshell: With short skirts and sky-high heels, this teacher turns heads. She’s a hit with the boys and even gets a few admiring looks from dads.
4. The Overachiever: Always leading committees, volunteering, and applying for grants, this teacher pours her heart into everything. When she becomes a stay-at-home mom, she’ll likely be the one other moms envy.
5. The Doormat: Even the substitute teachers seem to have more authority than this one. Classroom management? Not her strong suit.
6. The Dude: Every day feels like a party in his classroom. He tosses footballs and assigns no homework. While he may not prepare kids for the next grade, his charm makes him popular with students and parents alike.
7. The Musician: This gifted teacher can strum a guitar and turn any situation into a song. The kids adore her, while her colleagues can’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
8. The Hard Ass: In this classroom, there are no games. Parents either love or hate this strict teacher, but their reputation is undeniable.
9. The Sports Fanatic: With sports memorabilia plastered everywhere, this teacher incorporates team scenarios into math problems. Boys flock to his classroom.
10. The Cheeseball: You know her well. She’s decked out in apple-themed everything—from sweaters to mugs and even her manicure.
11. The Curmudgeon: Stuck in the past, this teacher refuses to embrace modern technology. Handwritten homework assignments and no class website? You bet.
12. The Cool, Young Teacher: If you’re lucky enough to get a new teacher, this is the one you want. She’s fun, progressive, and can handle any challenge that comes her way. One day, she’ll become the Veteran.
