    Unwritten Laws of Teaching

    Some more unwritten laws that keep teachers' lives so exciting and worthwhile.

    1. Meetings multiply at crunch times. Between report cards, parent teacher conferences, and various "team" and parent meetings, I'm lucky if I remember what ,where, when and who. Extra credit for anyone who can with out an agenda.

    2. The quicker you need a sub, the greater the chance of trouble. Especially if you have one of those "high enegry ,high mantainance" classes.

    3.Short weeks are longer than full weeks. I don't care what the calendar says, the short weeks are the ones that kill, becuase they mess with the natural progression of a teacher's routine. Then you have either 2 Mondays. ( Having a day on, day off, day on) or having a Monday , Tuesday , and Friday week.

    4. Never ask a child past kindergarten if they need a bathroom break. They do. Especially when you are busy teaching or they should be busy working.

    5. Children are illogical beings. They love and hate the same thing as quick as you can bat an eye( if not quicker). They seem to believe that completed homework at home should be counted as if it was turned in. Any person who considers chicken nuggets gormet especially with ketchup should be approached with care.
