2. You can see everything from the front of the classroom. There is no way that student sneakily texting in the back goes unnoticed. This is a warning to all my friends still in school.
3. Putting your worksheet up to block your face while you're talking on your cell phone does nothing to hide the fact that you're talking on your cell phone. That's like the college equivalent of putting your hands over your eyes and saying, "You can't see me."
4. If you correct a student 98 times about the difference between "he" and "she", they are probably still going to get it wrong the 99th time.
5. When the student finally gets it right the 100th time, your week is made.
6. Teachers look forward to movie days even more than students do.
7. Even the best kids will try and find ways out of doing work.
8. In a class of 40+ kids you will quickly learn the names of the really good students and the troublemakers. Everyone else just kind of blends in.
9. You will do things in your classroom you would never imagine doing in public. Like singing.
10. Do not agree to take a picture with one student unless you are prepared to take pictures with all forty students. It's worse than prom.
