Happy Teachers' Day!

Happy Teachers' Day to every teacher reading this post. Thanks for always being there when we need you.

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. Quinn

Teaching is a really difficult job, some pupils are the:

1) Smart type

2) Smart but unwilling to work (me)

3)Middle range

4)Lower range

5)Lower range which has a i-am-here-because-i-need-to attitude to school

6)Remaining falls into the MISSING LINK

Plus all the trouble that is going to give you, about 30 to 40 scripts need to be marked every time you give the class a piece of work. The small consolation is that you have the answer script. ;)

To pupils under any teacher: You know how stressful the job is, don't make it any more difficult.
