Just remember: you are a confirmed bachelor married to your work.
Go right ahead with your plans, Vulture; concentrate on your subject matter and the art of teaching. I am a ex-teacher and have never been questioned about my sexual orientation. If you're gay you can still talk about your housemate if you live together (many heterosexual males also live together to save money) and if you are heterosexual the kids will want to know about your wife and your kids. I always thought it was much more important to be respectful toward my students as I expected them to be respectful toward me and each other. Trust, honesty, and respect make for a good teacher. Come to think of it those qualities are also useful in relationships whether they be gay or straight.
Sex to me is properly very personal and also very private. Teachers who don't
keep their sexual activity personal and private are asking for trouble.

Gee, here in T.O. it seems like 90% of the men who teach elementary are gay. I used to teach secondary and kept thinking maybe I made the wrong choice. I do know many secondary teachers who are out, though. I also know many who are, shall we say, obvious. Either way it makes no difference. But then again, I'm in Toronto.
Despite the fact that some people on this site may tell you to grow some balls and come out already, I know from experience that it ain't all that easy, especially if where you live and/or work is not exactly gay-friendly.
When students asked me if I was married or had a girlfriend I just said, "no." It wasn't a lie. I found though that the gay or gay positive students had a strong sense that they could be comfortable around me and to me, that's all that really matters.

I had a principle in Secondary School who was openly Gay. never really an issue the students gave each other a hard time regarding who may or may not be gay. Parents didn't care. BTW he did teach it wasn't just all admin he done.
Yes, I'm a teacher. No, I never had a difficult time because of being gay. The problems I experienced was because I'm a short, thin man -many administrators thought I wouldn't have control of discipline within my class. One administrator took a chance and quickly discovered I can control my class and the one next to me with little difficulty.
I'm out among the staff and many of the students realize I'm extremely open-minded and will use the term boyfriend and girlfriend interchangeably. If you read my latest blog, you'll see I may have outed myself recently.
Taking at the 7-8th grade level, all my kids are hormone bombs. I tolerate very little negative comments within my class, so name-calling isn't a problem. Parents haven't been an issue in the 8 years I've been at the school. The ones that do attend conferences and special events appreciate the time and interest I take in their kids. The only complaints I've ever had is when I tell a parent their child isn't ready to take an honors class as a freshman at the high school. They get grumpy, but soon understand I want to see their child succeed rather than fail.
If you're interested in being a teacher, I can only say follow your heart. Teaching is one of the most underpaid professions that you'll ever fall in love with.

I had a gay teacher in highschool. His boyfriend worked too. From what I heard, the boyfriend left the school because their relationship bothered some people, and he chose to leave instead of being fired.
I think there was also an incident in which the mother of one of the students asked the principal to fire him (my teacher, after his boyfriend had left), but the principal refused. Which was kind of cool considering the principal was this right wing ultra conservative bitch.

Vulture, you shouldn't have any problem in becoming a teacher. How long you stay in the profession will be up to you. As long as you conduct yourself in a professional manner, and do a good job, you can teach as long as you wish.
I've been at the same school for 26 years. Never had a problem. Of course, after that long still being single and not known to date, I'm sure there are many whispers behind my back (this is the rural south, afterall) from a few parents and older students. My students (middle school age), however, love and respect me. It's been a rewarding and fulfilling career.
Don't get into it for the money, though. I still have a problem making my paycheck stretch from payday to payday.

I teach (college level). I'm completely out at work. I have no problem saying "My boyfriend and I saw a wonderful play this weekend, I highly suggest you see it" (I teach theatre). None of the students in my classes have reacted badly -- A few in the student lounge have, but they were "corrected" by my students 
. I have one staff member I work with who is very uncomfortable, but whatever. I didn't set out to be a teacher, it just happens to be where life led me (and my first day in the classroom was terrifying!)
My advice is consider it not a big deal, and I have found it is very hard for people to over react when it is presented to them as a mere fact of life.
(Full disclosure I live and work in California and may have more liberal attitudes than others.)

I'm going to be a teacher, but I might have time with it because I'm very out and sometimes flamboyant but not to the very max. But my city is like...a very catholic city with like a church on almost every block. (we've got like ten or more churches). I really want to teach in my city in high school, but I might have problems with it. But I think it just depends on the city.

I'm a teacher as well. Well..was for 4 years, and will be again once I finish grad school. I taught high school, and never had any problems. I never directly told anybody (other than my friends on the faculty/staff) that i was gay, but I know that some were able to figure it out, but nothing negative was ever said.
This was near Chicago though, so it's pretty open.
