Oak Park's star PE teacher looking absolutely wrecked in the teacher's lounge today.
Saw him sitting in the back of the faculty lounge during lunch. He was just staring at a protein shake like it was the most depressing thing he's ever seen. Then someone dropped a binder near him and he jumped like he was startled out of a trance. He’s usually the guy leading the pep rallies, smiling, high-fiving everyone. He looked like he hadn't slept in a week. Does anyone know if he's actually okay?
If you really want to know what’s going on, you should just ask him. He’s usually hanging out around the gym office. is always there.
Reply to LocalGossip： Ask him what? I'd be way too intimidated to talk to him about his personal issues.
He's always so energetic with the kids. Maybe he's just burned out? The start of the season is brutal.
Reply to OakParkParent： Burnout? Nah. People who know him know his home life has been... let's just say 'quiet' for a long time. Poor guy looks like he's hitting a wall.
Seriously though, who looks that good when they're having a mental breakdown?
Whatever is going on, he's definitely keeping it locked inside. The guy is a mountain of repressed stress.
I walked by him in the hallway earlier and he smelled like cedarwood soap. He looked right through me. It was weirdly intense.
He’s been married for years, right? Where is his wife in all this? She never shows up to the games anymore.
I saw him at the gym at 5:00 AM every day this week. He's working out harder than the students. It's not normal.
Wait, is this the varsity athletic director? He's the golden boy of the district. What could possibly be bothering him?
