Okay, but could she legally change her name? Also, I take it's alright to put whatever name you want on your credit cards, as long as you pay the companies back? Fair enough--fair enough.

I’m working on a novel about a character named Alice, who decides to go undercover as a high school student, for an extended period of time. Is she rich, or is she poor? That influences her choices, like if she needs to pawn personal belongings. Does a friend help pay for all this? Storywise, pawning belongings is something I like, but if it ain’t warranted, it ain’t warranted. Beyond that, Alice pointedly wishes to avoid ID theft, or fiscal fraud. Alice certainly doesn’t wanna steal someone else’s identity--she wants to create her own, and while she may be running from her past, none is actually chasing her, and she up to this point, been utterly law-abiding, so her choosing her own name is more warranted, than if security issues were primary. If she is breaking the law by doing this, then her crime is really victimless, or at least she thinks it is. Also, can Alice fake a her driver’s licence, social security #, and DOB without breaking the law? This matters.

THat's kind of what I have in mind, but what do you mean, in Alice having a "taster" as a student? THat's not a bad idea you have, at the end, with the assistant treating her as a student inadvertently, or almost inadvertently. The theme of the story, really, is that Alice doesn't know her place, her role, and she's lost, looking for guidance. SHe may be academically qualified to teach, but is emotionally stunted. My question, is how to make the assistant? Jealous? Cruel? Or, just effciently, impersonally bossy,? I'm leaning towards the last option, as of now, but that's permeable. I want other women to take advantage of ALice's tendencies, but I want them to take other vectors than Hardman's. FOr one thing, ALice has a humiliation kink. It is different from that of being a little, but I dare say compatible. How does a humiliation kink manifest in the real world?

In the story I'm working on, the first part involves my teacher heroine (named Alice) getting an inkling of her submissive tendencies via her (female) teaching assistant taking advantage of her, ultimately leading to her firing, but 'm not sure how to express this. If you're a hetero woman, and noticed an insecure woman was your boss( and whom you maybe even envied), how would you take advantage of her? I know that being submissive is not necessarily the same as being passive, unconfident, and and insecure, but Alice, in my case, is, enjoying erotic humiliation, or is it degradation? How to show this side of her character, anyway--I don't know much about this kink, anyways, and probably could use more info on this kink, including terms for it. But in any case, I want this to be shown early in the story, but subtly. This is the first part of Alice's descent, and I want it REALLY believable.

Well, I want a girl next door name, but don't want something like Jane, or Jennifer. Other than that, I just want a name reflecting a shy, mousey personality, insecure, the type who spends Friday nights with her cats, reading romance fiction. What names to mind under that character description? After assuming the identity of a high schooler, she becomes a cute, blonde little Heather, but I'm not totally sold on her working last name, Stevens. I'm going with the idea that she just unconsciously assumed Hardman's 1st name as his last name, but I'm up to a better idea if anyone has any. PS: Brain flash--I think her name is an Alice--it evokes childlike wonder, strangeness, and being trapped in a bigger world.

Well, my plan is pretty much that--Mr. Hardman notices this sub tendency, and thinks it unbecoming a teacher, but how to show it? Hm. Well, in your final sentence, you answered my question. She fist does get angry, but ultimately decides that he was RIGHT to fire her. Her taking at least partial responsibility, to her firing can be easily led up to, because she is insecure, and has lots of doubts in her own leadership, then comes to view Hardman as an authority figure whose opinion she values. By firing her, Hardman comes across not as a heartless jerk, but merely applying a mercy killing on something which was bound to die later, and more painfully. All Hardman is doing is confirming the darkest fears she already possesses, fears she has already divulged to him. It hurts, yes, but the principal asked for his opinion and he gave it, and he is not ashamed to to tell her what that assessment is--I think many submissives find that kinda guts attractive. That answer your question as to why she wouldn't see it as as personal rejection? At this point she wants to prove herself to others, and views her failure to convince him she's a keeper on her, and not him.

About her filing a lawsuit,you're right. Of course, the reason she does not is that she already looks up to him, and has a masochist streak in her. And, some women REALLY hate the idea of lawsuits, even when they are in a position to, like the mother of Steve Jobs" first child, and were liable to gain a boatload O' dough in the process. Lots of women choose, unfortunately, to defer justice in the case of rape, and their general lack of assertiveness is almost certainly part of the pay gap, as well. I can easily have some, like her advisor, lecture her for not suing, and I'm sure this lecture type is pretty common in western countries across the globe. Also, about my inablility to name my heroine... I named her antagonist, Mr. Hardman, pretty effortlessly, but her? I know I'm gonna call her little girl self Heather, after Heather Locklear, for symbolic reason, and also because Heather strike me as cute--perfect for an aspiring little girl. As for her little girl last name? Hart, perhaps? I'm not sure. But I'm at a complete loss as to naming her initial, adult self. She's a bit of a girl next door, but Jennifer doesn't work for me. Jane? Maybe, but I want her name to convey mousey-ness, the lifelessness of a dull existence, but not too over the top. As is, "Mr Hardman" maybe too on the nose, but still I like it.

For this, allow me to share more of my notes: Fresh outta college, and in the 97th percentile, she enters her first high school teaching gig. As she starts, she finds she isn't very assertive, and lets her assistant lead the class for her, even bossing her around, slightly. Another of the the teachers there, a mid-forties widower named Stephen Hardman, starts to mentor her a little. She has a little bit of a crush on him, but the y develop more into a father-daughter-who's-college-age vibe. Taking his advice to heart, she works to improve, and does. Until she gets fired. Stung, and never having failed at anything in her life, she bursts into "Mr. Hardman"'s office to complain. Until he finds she was fired on his recommendation, given she was not "a keeper." Mr. Hardman explains that she's still a "little girl" who just hasn't "grown up"" enough to justify tenure. She begs him to reconsider, but he turns her down, saying she has nothing to teach, but much to learn, just as the clouds breakin throught the window, making her hair briefly look blond to him. Staring deep into her eyes, he cradles her disappointed face before gathering her long, brown hair into two pigtail-like bunches with his fists, and then releases them, saying she should go back to school, like she was thinking. After this, she she retrurns to her college adviser, to consult him on her next move. Given she's never had personal high school experience and went straight to college, he suggests that perhaps she try to understand them, more. At this, she counter-suggests she do her research posing as a teenager, and write a paper on that, to which her advisor agrees. How to make this arc believable, both in the academic mechanisms, and psychologically? As is, I think I'm off to good start.

No. What is it? Any teacher forums online for me to ask about high schools? I'd contact some high schools now, but obviously...

Aren't there doctorates in teenage psychology? I would assume that is what she is pursuing--not child psychology. My backstory for her is her is that she attained some sort of teaching certification allowing her to be a high school teacher, with the plan for her to teach for a year or two to attain first-hand experience, and then get a higher degree. Internal politics being the reason for her firing a teacher sounds about right. Her future dom decides that she is too much of a pushover as a teacher, recommends her firing, and explains to her quite frankly. My idea is that she has never attended high school, and the setting is completely novel, given she mostly homeschooled, and stuck to her books in college, completing her courses lightning-quick. She is more responsible, more capable than she is mature, and I intend to show that in how she lets her assistant basically run the class. When she gets fired, she is mad at her future dom for firing her, as opposed to giving her a chance to to learn--to get better, but he thinks he has her pegged. This encounter, this charge that she cannot teach student because she cannot teach high schooler because she's never been one, is what drives her to become one, initially. She says she came here to learn, and he tells her that's good, but is being paid to teach, and is being fired for too much learning and and not enough teaching, and that is her final lesson. She's never lived, and that is what has drawn her to high school, so when he asks her what what she can teach her subjects if she can't understand them, she knows he's right.

Kboards said that I was overthinking my story, but I've had a little professional training at college, emphasizing preparation, and hope I'll find a better fit, talking about my story, here, including sharing my notes. I'm telling also an erotic tale, but certainly NOT smut--no graphic sex and at most, it's ONLY implied. In any case, here are some of my notes 'n questions: I'm researching for a story about beautiful young high school teacher that decides to disguise herself as a high school student to better understand her subjects, only to find herself entrapped in the lifestyle by a more experienced...teacher. How to make it more real? SHe's real smart, in the 97th percentile, so it would make sense that she's a very young teacher, like 24, but what kind of college would she go to? WHat would be the exact career goals of someone in her position? Sh's smart, so how would she go undercover as a high school student in the aim of creating a doctrinal thesis, or something akin to it? I want this to be as believable as possible. Also, I intend for her to be fired from her first teaching gig primarily because she's not assertive, too passive. WHat would that look like? WHat kind of mistakes do rookie teachers make? What kinds of things get teachers fired? (I'm not talking sex with students, racism, or doing drugs, either--those cases are TOO extreme. SHe gets fired for just not being good enough, whch shocks her, being a genuine afront to her pride, and also challenge, being the first time she's failed professionally, after years of being an honor student.) I'm telling a story about a woman entering an extremely unusual situation, but I want it to be a believable as possible, so I'm asking for details about how teaching is, for young teachers, and in particular for someone who's young, super-credentialed but also with limited self-confidence. How do high schools hire teachers? How uncommon would it be for a teacher in the 97th percentile to start out as a high school teacher? Also, how does the teacher-assistant dynamic work? How can it get dysfuntional? Where can I find answers to these questions?
