Ten Teachers In Fiction

Today's Top Ten Tuesday prompt was Characters Whose Job I Wish I Had, but I decided to switch it up and do Characters Who Have The Same Job As Me. I teach at a Christian school and I absolutely love my job. Below you'll find a list of characters who either work at a school or run a school.

Honorable mention to Laura Ingalls Wilder, who I thought about including but ruled out because she's based on a real person. Later I realized this would disqualify several other characters from my list, but oh well. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️
