Just had to share this. I thought it was funny. My brother is always telling me how easy of a job that teaching is-that we do play all day and only work 9-3 9 months a year. (It always makes me mad!) But I know we wouldn't last one hour in any classroom.
Also this made me think of every time we go on a field trip and the chaperones at the end of the day always say how exhausted they are. Usually these are the parents that appreciate what we do.
OH so true! I always say to these people. . . "You chose your profession, and I chose mine." I take my pay for 180 days and sssppprreeaadd it all out for 365 days... but some people still think I get paid for the summer. . . It's a hard concept for them to understand... I try to ask them to figure how much they make in 180 days and spread it out for the whole year and see how that feels!
I love the thing online that mathematically figures out that if teachers got paid just $1.00 an hour per kid to "babysit" at 25 kids x 7 hours per day x $7.00 per kid x 180 days a year... we should make something like $200,000 a year!
SO TRUE!!! I have many volunteers who admit to the same truth after they have spent a 1/2 day with us or just helped supervised a school wide afternoon activity! I guess you never know what one experiences until you spend a day (or even an hour) in that person's shoes! Keep Smiling :>) WE HAVE THE BEST PROFESSION IN THE WORLD!!!! (check out my Blog if you have not done so...)

Where Seconds Count
HAHA! That's pretty funny. I would prefer to kick those people in the face, but I guess this is a good substitute for violence.

I hear this every summer...ESPECIALLY FROM MY HUSBAND!!! I always tell him if he could only come to my classroom for ONE DAY!
