Monthly Stress Reducer - You Have to Be a Schoolteacher If…

  • You have no time for a life from the end of August until Mid-July.

  • You want to slap the next person who says, 'Must be nice to work from 8.30am to 3.15pm and have your summers and weekends free.'

  • When you're out in public you feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behaviour.

  • You refer to adults as, 'boys and girls.'

  • You encourage your spouse by telling them they are a 'good helper.'

  • Meeting a child's parents instantly answers the question, 'Why is this child like he is?'

  • You believe 'extremely annoying' should have its own box on the report.

  • You know hundreds of 'good' reasons for being late.
    You don't want children of your own because there isn't a name you can hear that wouldn't raise your blood pressure
