Pardon Me

HEY Y'ALL :D

It's a wonder how I'd always do things in dreams that I would never do in real life. Like last night, I dreamt that I got so pissed off at this 9 year old, I got his arm twisted. Did feel damn good though :)

Anydarnway,
I've stopped teaching. Finally. Was counting down the days.

Teaching has taught me some life lessons though ;

- NEVER judge a book by it's cover. Just because they look cute, doesn't mean nuts.
- if a kid says he gotta pee, chances are, he probably doesn't. Can't be fooled even if he has his hands covering his crotch.
- the words kids and innocence no longer go well together. 9 year olds going around saying the word sex.

Okay fine, some serious life lessons ;
- teachers are extremely under-appreciated. Teachers are so damn restricted & have to watch everydamnthing they do. Can't say the wrong things, even if the students are being plain idiotic. Can't give too much homeowork or you'd get parents complaining. Can't punish the kids with a cane, or you'd be in court. Can't be too easy either, you'd get in trouble with admin. Can't use much creativity, got a scheme to follow. Try being easygoing with the kids, they'd step on your head. Try being really strict, they'd hate you.

- teachers are underpaid. I exclude myself, cause being a student, I think my pay was awesome. But if it was my job for real, I would hate the ridiculous salary our government's paying for a job that doesn't give you space to be creative because teachers have to follow a ridiculous teaching scheme.

Teachers are surviving HEROES, I tell you.
*salute!

As much as I'm complaining, I did enjoy teaching (some classes).
Their answers can be so damn adorably hilarious.

Instruction: Make a sentence with the word hen.
1. I like hen because I like eggs.
2. I lay eggs, I am a hen.

Question: How do dolphins talk to each other?
Correct answer: They make sounds.
Answer given: They make sound like ikkkkkkkh.

& I didn't think I would, but I do miss some of the kids. :)
