Dear Jack:

What if your transparency about having been a teacher was not the cause of them teasing you? What if they would have found something else to tease you about if you didn’t hand them the teaching thing? What if they were teasing you behind your back, as in gossip, regarding other topics?

It could be that they tease people, anyone; could be that they teased you because you seemed nervous or awkward and … they felt like teasing you… ?

Think about it… the teasing and the teaching could be connected only in a random kind of way, it so happened kind of way.?
