After-School Special: 10 Songs About Wanting To Sleep With Your Teacher
Today is National Teacher Appreciation Day, a time when we reflect on the patient, compassionate, and selfless individuals who taught us good ol' reading, 'writin' and 'rithmatic. Honestly, we have no idea where we'd be without them. They handed us the keys to knowledge, and set us on a path to a better, more enriching life. So what better way to honor their legacy than think about all the times we secretly wanted to sleep with them!
