Being a teacher is one of the coolest jobs on the planet. You go to work everyday never knowing exactly what you are going to get. There is never a day that is the same. Though we all love our job, our days are full of "wtf" moments that are just too ridiculous to make up. Here is a compilation of faces that all teachers can relate to.
1. When a kid asks you a question that has nothing to do with what you’re teaching.
There's nothing more frustrating than being in the middle of a riveting discussion about similes and metaphors, when someone raises their hand and asks you what would happen if there was a chicken revolution and chickens took over the world. Excuse me, what!?
2. When a kid asks what the directions are right after you just explained the directions for the 3rd time.
Someone asking for directions literally seconds after you have finished giving them is inevitable. "You better hope the person sitting next to you was listening" is one of the most used phrases.
3. When a kid farts in class.
Kids are literally so disgusting. Call on them when they aren't paying attention and they'll get embarrassed...yet they'll let one rip in class and not even be phased.
4. When grades are due by 3pm
Oh shit.
5. When a parent shows up late to a 504/IEP meeting
Sure. I'll wake up a half an hour earlier than normal to get to school for a 7:30 meeting to discuss accommodations for your child. But don't worry, you don't have to be there until 7:45.
6. When there is food in the teacher’s room.
Nothing better than baked goods in the teacher's room. Carb up.
7. When you have lunch duty and watch 12 year olds eat ketchup and mayonnaise packets.
Nothing makes me lose my appetite faster than a cafeteria full of middle schoolers shoving food down their gullet.
8. Leaving school on Friday.
Sorry guys but Miss Cox is off duty.
