"The Teacher from Mars" is a classic science fiction story originally published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in February, 1941. It begins:
The afternoon Rocket Express train from Chicago came into the station, and I stepped off. It was a warm spring day. The little town of Elkhart, Indiana sprawled lazily under the golden sunshine. I trudged along quiet, tree-shaded streets toward Caslon Preparatory School for Boys.
Before I had gone far, I was discovered by the children playing here and there. With the dogs, they formed a shrill, raucous procession behind me. Some of the dogs growled, as they might at a wild animal. Housewives looked from their windows and gasped.
So the rumors they had heard were true. The new teacher at Caslon was a Martian!
