Oh man, this is going to be my life. I'm 19 years old, 4'11" and want to be a middle school English teacher when I get out of college. I feel for you. I still get offered children's menus in restaurants--most recently at a place where the children's menus were only for children under *8*. Some people just don't have eyes, do they?
OP should have STOOD UP (figuratively) for himself when ***** boss started to yell. Even if it was a student, there's no cause or point to yelling. As it is, OP has 'one up' on the boss from now on. Make the best of it instead of whining like a douche.
My husband had dealt with this for the past year as a teacher. He is 5'11" but he is very young looking. Everyday teachers say stuff to him but it does get better. Just remember that in 10 yrs they will look horrible and you'll look great!!! Plus a lot of the time people will say it because it works as an easy conversation starter..."omgod you are so young, I can't believe you are a teacher". Heads up though...parents are the worst at it!!!
Isn't this how "Up the down staircase" starts out? Anyway, a simple "Umm, I work here" should suffice.
Same thing happened to me once. I'm 4'11", though, and at the time I was 19. The security guard thought the other girl with me was my mother who was signing me into the late student log. We were the same age and both going to do classroom hours for our teaching certification. Hehe.
I don't really blame him, if someone was 5"1 I would make that mistake too probably if you didn't have any recognizable adult features.
We have a teacher in our school who's young, but looks VERY young, so there are all sorts of myths circulating about him being mistaken for a pupil by teachers in the staff room and the like :).

haha that's something that could happen to me too! I recently got a free entrance somewhere because entrance was free for kids til 15 years old. I'm 24.
Oh wow, you're a teacher right? They should know these things.
