good luck with the job hunt. i know you're not quite fond of the jobs, but being a figure of authority can be pretty sweet. even when i was interning at one school and was essentially the same age (in a few cases, even younger) than the oldest students, I got adressed with polite forms, please, thank you and all. (and i didn't even wear the terrifyingly high "i'm intimidating you" heels I wore for another internship^^)
the school environemnt can be horrible, but it depends a lot on the school. the school i interned at was just wonderful; i never thought of my school as horrible (certainly not wonderful, but it wasn't awful or anything) but in comparison, the other school just shone....and not just because the teachers tried to give us food at every opportunity "hey, math teacher's birthday today! here, intern, grab a fork and dig in!" "hey, history teacher anniversary, we ordered chinese!" "aw, someone left me chocolate at my seat!"
