FAQ
Should a teacher date only another teacher?
No. Shared experience is convenient, but values, respect, and mutual effort matter more.

Ask about an interest in the profile rather than a workplace or identifiable students.
How can educators make time during term?
Plan ahead and protect small, recurring periods with no marking or lesson preparation.
