Things They Don't Teach You in Teacher School: #4-6

4. Someone will always ask for the answer of a question that you just answered. At any given time you will be lucky if one-third of the students are actually listening.
Example:
Teacher: Chapter one will be on the test. Any questions?
Student: Will chapter one be on the test?

5. Many students can send a text-message without ever taking their phone out of their pocket.

6. There are 180 days on the calendar. You might get to actually use about 160 of them. You will lose days for: the day before a major holiday (just forget about it), altered schedules, half-days, field days, field trips, early dismissals for sports, special "assemblies", testing, festivals, retreats, and many other creative ways that schools have of counting something as a school day without any actual instruction going on.
