Five days back in the classroom.

Five things I’d forgotten.

1. Eating lunch in gulps isn’t much fun.
2. Not being able to go the restroom on demand isn’t much fun either.
3. Discussing with a teenager with or not a t-shirt is appropriate for school is more fun than I’d like to admit.
4. How hard it is to find time to check your email during the day.
5. What it’s like to have people think your first name is Mr.

Five things that were as I remembered them.

1. Every teacher wants to be in their room before school starts, but they aren’t.
2. Custodians get a big ovation within the first eight minutes.
3. The kitchen staff have to be found and given another nice round of applause.
4. There are more things to do than their is prep time to do them.
5. No day goes by faster or feels better than a day of teaching.
