This is a picture of a thank-you poster my first graders made for Dominos. This picture has NOTHING to do with my theory, but I couldn't find a good picture and this one made me laugh.I recently got a job as a reading/computer specialist at a school about two minutes away and I was able to sit through many obnoxious meetings in prep for the new school year. Do you know what I discovered? Every elementary faculty is the same. That's right! There is always the skeptical, veteran teacher; she shakes her head when planning time is brought up. She sighs and knows things will never go her way. There should be one male teacher who is quirky and funny and all the students in the school idolize this teacher. He probably likes Snickers and gets away with as much as possible. The third element is the school secretary. All teachers must bow down to this individual because her job is harder than teaching and her hours are longer. She won't let you forget this point either.
What can I say? I really love teaching...really....
Did I mention the great pay?

It's funny how some things are universal. I bet even in many different countries, that teacher theory would still prove true. I was thinking how it's kinda sad you'll be back to work. now I'll have to pay more attention to when I call! Mostly I'm just jealous you found a part time job that will work with your schedule. Congrats!
So true!! I didn't know you were teaching again. Are you at Westmore?
That's funny because I can think of names of teachers who fit each of the descriptions you said.
Congrats on the job! I'm sure it will give you some fun stories to share. :-D
Wait a second, that sounds just like the junior high AND high school faculties I've worked at. I am a bit jealous because Ammon has always been the funny idolized teacher. And yes, he does enjoy Snickers.
I love it! And I can't wait for the stories. Can I come meet your new classes if when I come down?
great job! That sounds perfect! i can't wait to hear how it goes.
that sounds JUST like my elementary school!! all four of them!! :) we moved quite a bit during that time in my life.
