Sometimes after a long week of awesomeness with my kids, there are times you simply need to sit down and reflect...on well, basically everything. Now, I will be the first to admit that my kids could have their own reality show, comedy show, you name it. But when it comes to teacher business, we tend to forget that the items below, we manage on a daily basis...whether we realize it or not. Thanks to a teacher friend of mine, I found that the phrases that follow are legitately true in my life.
The Educator's Room--HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE A TEACHER? By Jeff Foxworthy
You get a secret thrill out of laminating things.
You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.
You walk into a store and hear the words, “It’s Ms./Mr. ____________ and know you have been spotted.
You have 25 people who accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one time or another.
You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes.
You’ve trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period.
You start saving other people’s trash, because most likely, you can use that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the classroom.
You want to slap the next person who says, “Must be nice to work 7 to 3 and have summers off”.
You believe chocolate is a food group.
You can tell if it’s a full moon without ever looking outside.
You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, “Boy, the kids are sure mellow today.”
You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.
You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.
You can’t pass the school supply aisle without getting at least 5 items!
You ask your friends to use their words and explain if the left hand turn he made was a “good choice” or “bad choice.”
You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils.
You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.
Just wanted to share the awesomeness with my other teacher homies out there...
