A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks (Charles Gordy)

I'd go further than Gordy and say, a smile is an essential element to improve your looks, as well. Especially for a schoolteacher.

If you can't smile/laugh at yourself, if you can't smile/laugh at the ridiculous things that kids say, if you can't smile/laugh at your colleagues' war stories, then...what are you doing in teaching?

Really.

Yesterday, I had to go to the admin hub and it was sunny so I put on my dark glasses and off I toddled. As I passed a couple of boys I heard one say to the other, "Mr. Hollywood".

I laughed, turned around and said, "Mr. Hollywood is it?"

Hilarious!
