I . . Academics! Teacher Types ou can always hear New Edition blaring from her candy-apple red Fiero as she zooms out of the school parking lot. You can be sure you'll see her in a crazy skit for an assembly, too. Acting like Madonna or even say, a baked potato for the de- light of the student body, which would not phase her a bit. She'd say, It's great! Girls just wanna have fun, you know! This teacher type is al- most always in a good mood. She wears the latest fashions by Guess and Espirit, and she she can blend right into the crowd- , ed halls between classes. Her idea of a fun weekend is going dancing or maybe to a party to socialize. This woman of the eight- ies maintains her youthful appearance with energetic aerobics, working out at the local gym, and eating low-cal, low-cholesterol foods. This gal's class is usually a lot of fun. She makes you work, but sometimes you can talk her out of it to play eraser-chaser instead. This type even lets you bend the rules a little by letting you listen to music during class time.
