Summer Time . . .

A little humor, and a little reality . . .

I started later than most, because I am teaching in another country, but let me tell you: watching all my teacher friends in the US going on vacation as I go through my final weeks of my semester is rough! Almost . . . almost my turn too 😂

Things I never knew . . .

Installment #20

Five things I never knew . . . until I became a teacher:

  • spelling is inconsequential to understanding someone’s written work
  • grammar and syntax is inconsequential to understanding someone’s written work
  • print and handwriting vary–tremendously
  • writing is an art . . . an abstract modern art to be exact
  • my ability to decipher writing has no limits

“A teacher’s nightmare: Tying a wet shoelace when it has NOT been raining!”

Note: I never tied shoes, even when I taught kindergarten. Among many reasons–this eventually was one! ðŸĪŠ

Installment #19:

Five things I never knew . . . until I became a teacher:

  • anything chewed is suspect . . .
  • anything wet is suspect . . .
  • anything sticky is suspect . . .
  • anything smelly is suspect . . .
  • anything chewed, wet, sticky, and smelly is a possible code red 😟

Teacher Humor

Being a TEACHER is a lot like being a ROCK STAR:

– You work hard to keep the attention of a distracted crowd.
– Your fans freak out when they see you in public.
– Groupies line up to follow you everywhere.
– You hear your name being called out all the time.
