Miss......

I spend most of my day trapped with silly, hormone raging, attitude carrying, sometimes wonderful, sometimes insane teenagers. Did I say trapped? Truth be told I love my job but it does have its challenges. My vocabulary has been reduced to a fraction of its normal size and by the end of the day I crave adult conversation. Along the way I have learned and experienced many things that need to be shared.
The following are things that I have learned over the past four years of teaching:
1. Teenagers do not know the difference between Ms. And Mrs. According to most of my students I am already married. The cheap jerk didn’t even buy me a ring.
2. If you reference the Simpsons or the Office in a lesson the concept will stick.
3. There should be an age requirement for heels. Never ever, under no circumstance should a fifteen year old be allowed to wear heels.
4. If a kid is drooling they are probably on drugs.
5. It doesn’t matter how much you think you hate your parents I guarantee they deserve an award compared to some of the winners I have seen. Call your mom and dad today and thank them for being awesome parents.
6. Most of all I have learned that teenagers can be pretty great, if you take the time to listen to them. They make me laugh on a daily basis.
Teenage quote du jour:
This boy must not know me, I take bullets.
