I love teaching, but I really love summer too. Here are some of the reasons that I love summer, and I think all my teachers friends can relate.
I love summer because...
10. No one asks me what time lunch, recess, and the end of the day is. Its been the same time since September, people.
9. I no longer need to eat my lunch, run copies, and grade papers in under 20 minutes.
8. I can go to the bathroom WHENEVER I need to :)
7. No one cries. Except maybe Ali on the bachelorette.
6. No one has to hear me say "Let's see if we can get quiet by the time I count to 5..."
5. I don't have to say "Let's see if we can get quiet by the time I count to 5..."
4. There are no more pencil issues. Any teacher will tell you that pencils are evil. The really expensive electric pencil sharpener breaks by October, the wall mounted one never worked, and only two kids have the sharpener that their parents bought them in the beginning of the year. I think I would have cried if one more kid would have told me they can't do their work because they don't have a pencil.
3. I don't have to open my window because the air-conditioning is so cold that it is making my nose red.
2. I don't have to spend my lunch (the student's recess) going over how to stay organized (with a few students that will remain nameless) only to see they need to stay in and re-organize the next week.
1. I don't have to smell the nasty smell that is "fish sticks for lunch" day.
These are just some of the funny/irritating things teachers go through. It is great to have a break, but some how I am always ready and excited to go back to a whole new group of kids.
