Today, I got a funny email from another teacher. I thought it was worth sharing! Enjoy the laughs and get ready to count how many you really can relate to about being a teacher.
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE A TEACHER?
By Jeff Foxworthy
1. You get a secret thrill out of laminating things.
2. You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one
belongs to the child out of line.
3. You walk into a store and hear the words, “It’s Ms./Mr.
____________ and know you have been spotted.
4. You have 25 people who accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one
time or another.
5. You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes.
6. You’ve trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two
distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period.
7. 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.
8. You believe the Teacher’s Lounge should be equipped with a
margarita machine.
9. You want to slap the next person who says, “Must be nice to
work 7 to 3 and have summers off”.
10. You believe chocolate is a food group.
11. You can tell if it’s a full moon without ever looking
outside.
12. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if
anyone says, “Boy, the kids are sure mellow today.”
13. You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct
their behavior when you are out in public.
14. You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.
15. You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
16. You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your
own children.
17. You can’t pass the school supply aisle without getting at
least 5 items!
18. You ask your friends to use their words and explain if the
left hand turn he made was a “good choice” or “bad choice.”
19. You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened
pencils.
20. You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.
21. You understand, instantaneously, why a child behaves in a
