Signs You’re Subconsciously Ready To Quit Your Teaching Job

Your students know more about Texas Hold’em than History.

When you come across a fight in the hall, instead of breaking it up you prefer to take bets.

When you get caught in the bathroom smoking, you refuse to remove the cigarette from your lips before you tell the principle to “bite me!”

You love to teach the kids of the “good ol’ days” by constant use of corporal punishment.

You can lecture for hours on the qualities of navel lint whilst extracting samples along the way.

Your favorite object lesson includes Nazi uniforms, the parking lot, and a giant pile of burning books.

When a parent comes to talk to you about why their child is doing poorly the only explanation you can muster is, “Well, stupidity breeds stupidity.”

Your way of “preparing kids for the real world” is by administering the occasional sucker punch, and stealing their lunch money.

You stopped bothering to learn names long ago and now just refer to all your students as “Numb-Nuts”.

In a year end self evaluation, you give yourself an F.

It's hard to be happy when you're not one of nor able to relate to the village idiots--yet Hollywood executives manage to be happy--or wait, are they the village idiots? Now I'm confused.

My favorite one is, the one about refusing to take the cigarette out of your mouth... That is probably the funniest thing I've read in a LONG time!

Amy said...

This list was awesome. And I'm scared to think how true! Whatever, I'm still not homeschooling my brats!

Are you sure you made the right career choice? Well, you can't quit now because then you wouldn't be able to post all the moronic things they say and I don't think I could handle that. I guess you better make the most of it.

BTW are you too good for me now? Whatever.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I'm
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
