Get Back to Teaching

When kids ask me what page a certain quote is on

When my students pull me aside during lunch because they have to “tell me something”

Hearing excuses on Monday morning about why they couldn’t complete the weekend homework....

Those students who always try and find the loopholes in my instructions

When new students start asking me about my personal life

Me thinking I’m just going to try winging my lesson plans this year

When other teachers try sitting with me and my co-teacher while we’re gossiping during lunch

When I get paired with my bestie for lunch duty

Hearing one more teacher talk about how “exciting” and “awesome” this year is going to be

Seeing double the amount of assistant principals

When non-teachers try to tell me how to do my job...

My attitude at the start of the school year

Pretty much half of my class’s excuses for every homework assignment

Seeing former students after summer break

Trying to remember what I taught last year...
