But maybe her secret is something more plausible and fun. Maybe she's a spy, or she's into RPGs and really good at them, or she won the lottery but still wants to teach. Or maybe it's something bad, like she lost her house and is living out of her car in the school parking lot.

Maybe she's a serial killer. Maybe a secret society depends on her to find extremely bright and clever children to recruit for a government project. Maybe she can turn into an animal. Maybe she grades papers by throwing them down the stairs and depending on which step it lands on, she gives it a certain grade. Maybe she is actually a kid who was turned into an adult. Maybe she is actually a man. What kind of secret would a teacher keep that would be exciting?
