Doctors, Lawyers, and Teachers

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn’t want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher’s job. ~Donald D.

Out Sick

I’m out sick this week. I’ve got a sinus infection and I feel like crap. Like most teachers, I have a bazillion sick days saved up, so I could quite literally take off sick the rest of the school year, but like most teachers I won’t… cause I’m all “responsible” and “caring”. Fat lot of good it does me. But, pending sudden death, I will be back teaching about the thirteen American colonies on Monday.
