To All the REAL Teachers:
REAL TEACHERS
Real teachers grade papers in the car, during commercials, in faculty meetings, in the bathroom, and (at the end of the nine weeks) have been seen grading in church.
Real teachers cheer when they hear April 1 does not fall on a school day.
Real teachers can't walk past a crowd of kids without straightening up the line.
Real teachers never sit down without first checking the seat of the chair.
Real teachers have disjointed necks from writing on boards without turning their backs on the class.
Real teachers are written up in medical journals for the size and elasticity of kidneys and bladders.
Real teachers have been timed gulping down a full lunch in 2 minutes, 18 seconds. Master teachers can eat faster than that.
Real teachers can "sense" gum.
Real teachers will eat anything that is put in the workroom/teacher's lounge.
Real teachers hear the heartbeats of crisis; always have time to listen; know they teach students, not subjects; and are absolutely non-expendable.
