Things They Don't Teach You In Teacher School: #1-3

In no particular order:

#1 On many days, you are the only one in your class that wants to be there. For all of the rest of the days, even you don't want to be there.

#2 Some students have an endless supply of grandparents; they tend to die or get rushed to the hospital around major tests and projects.

#3 Biology 101: Students trying to put on muscle consume a lot of protein. Over-consumption of protein can create digestive distress. There will be parts of your classroom that you will learn to avoid. Many students are not nearly as embarrassed by their exhaust fumes as they should be; to some it is an immense source of pride.

Peace

1. Amen.

2. Amen, and parents who lie for their kids' convenience are the worst.

3. Ew.

I had the senior pastor of a church sign his son in late with the excuse that he was at the dentist. In truth, the student slept in because he didn't have his homework.
