2. You frequently feel like hitting your head against a brick wall when you spend an hour teaching the children something you spent days preparing for, to open their exercise book to find a doodle of a zombie gorilla.
3. Would you like a cup of tea? Shall we have a coffee? Biscuit anyone?
4. School plays. You WILL be singing those catchy songs for weeks and weeks. Even your dog will know the words by the time Christmas arrives.
5. You can't go shopping without seeing at least two items and thinking 'Oooh I could use that in the classroom'. If you don't find any items, you WILL see a child you teach and try to hide.
6. The dread that fills you when you open your curtains in a morning to rain - please no wet play, pleeeease.
7. When you are not at school, you can be found in a zombie-like state wandering around covered in marker pen, PVA glue and glitter.
8. You will always meet at least one person who tells you how great it must be to work 9-3. Restrain from hitting said person.
9. When you meet your 'teacher friends' outside of work you will agree 'not to talk about school' before proceeding to talk about school non-stop.
10. Even when you are having the most terrible day, you only need to look at those 30 little cheeky faces staring back at you to realise you really wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
What do you think? Any you can relate to? :)

Oh thank you :) I am glad you enjoyed it! xxx
DeleteCompletely relate 100%! Loved this, made me smile! :) 9-3... more like 7-5! I always get in early so I can come home earlier ;D For the exceptions of staff meetings of course. I try and stay one night a week, usually a thursday, and get all my resources prepared for the week ahead ready rather than a night at a time. Seems to be working quite well this term for me :) xxx
