Kids can come up with the most hilariously ridiculous excuses at times. And they totally think their teacher will fall for them. Ha! Think again kid. That teacher was in your shoes back in the day :)
Being on an all-day field trip with a few hundred screaming children is definitely fun. But it will make you grateful for the peace and quiet when you get home.
If you bring an umbrella, you won't need it. If you forget your umbrella, you will.
Homesickness can strike at any time and can be brought on by a sight, a smell, a sound, a memory...anything.
Eating right before an important meeting is probably not the best idea. It's like you're just begging food to drop on your clothes.
The sound of a child reading a book for the first time all by themselves is music to a teachers ears.
You know someone well when the two of you can communicate simply with movements of your eyebrows :)
If the only time you come to a city is when the news cameras do, it makes you look like you don't really care. *And I'm not talking about Obama. ...just all the random people that showed up this week.
If you, as a reporter, try to interview my students as a "sympathy piece" and you clearly don't care about what they have to say, I will refuse you the opportunity. *FYI - This didn't happen to me, but I watched it happened to another teacher and her students near me.
Walking across The Edmund Pettis Bridge and looking at the sweet kids entrusted in your care will make you think about a march that happened on that same bridge 50 years prior.
Losing an hour of sleep due to the time changing stinks. But driving home in the daylight will definitely make up for it.
Watching a parent who's sick and in pain is gut-wrenching.
You have to give respect to get respect.
