And re: Uppercut, yea I still feel that way about my teachers in school. The professors I see differently both because I'm older and the I work and talk to them about outside stuff, goto their homes (at least ones I do research with), meet them outside, etc. But I still would find it really odd if I saw my school teachers grocery shopping or something. It'd just be weird. I never saw any one of them as a 'real person', with the possible exception of a 12th grade math teacher that half the girls had a crush on, and we were all pretty sure he had affairs with at least a few of them.
