attention, teachers!

i know there are a few of you out there given that this site is frequented by ::how many women?:: every nano second! anyway, if you're there, and reading, here's my situation: i am not out in the workplace due to a.) my age and lack of seniority and b.) well, my lameness, not gonna lie about it. anyway, i'm an inbetweener; tomboyish somedays but femme on the others. if you're gay, there's a chance you may peg me, if you're straight, you're clueless (ie: co-workers who make relentless attempts at desperation set-ups).

now, here's my question: are you out at your school? how were you received? anything would be helpful. ironic, isn't it? teachers are supposed to be some of the most open-minded people, encouraging students to accept and tolerate everyone. behind the scenes that is sometimes just simply not the case. if you're not a teacher, and you have anything to add, please do!
