Things Your Teachers Didn’t Tell You
by Rease Kirchner and Emily C. Sims
You may or may not know this, but Emily and I are both ex-teachers. We both appreciate our time we spent as teachers and no one is saying we wouldn’t do it again…However, we’re still going to break teacher code and tell you a few things teachers normally don’t tell you.
1. Going to the local community college really isn’t that great. You need to leave.
2. Geography is way cooler when you live it--that’s why we travel.
3. Facebook was created for our generation, so no, it’s not weird that we have Facebook accounts, it’s weird that you do.
4. We blog about the whiners.
5. We also blog about the know-it-alls.
Some of you drive us crazy.
6. Some of us were just like you.
8. We daydream too. Usually about going on vacation.
9.We play drinking games. A beer pong champion may be grading your papers.
Perhaps I won't return to teaching after all--not after posting this.
10. A lot of us are cooler than you think. Probably cooler than you.
11. Traveling during summer vacation is what keeps us sane for 9 months of school.
14. Where you were born does not make you better than anyone else.
16.No amount of reading about something can replace experience.
20. There is such a thing as a stupid question.
