[BITList] You might be a teacher if ......

[John Feltham]

YOU MIGHT BE A TEACHER IF...

* You want to slap the next person who says "It must be nice to have  
all those holidays!"

* You can tell it's a full moon without looking outside.

* When out in public, you feel the urge to talk to strange children  
and correct their behaviour.

* You can 'hold on' until after lunchtime yard duty.

* You can go to the loo, take a phone call, have a conference with a  
colleague, tend to first aid and have a cup of coffee in 20 minutes.

* You check for spelling and punctuation errors in every piece of  
writing you see.

* You walk around shopping centres wearing face paint, stickers and a  
daisy chain, and don't even notice the stares.

* You look 50 before you are 30.

* You can't pick a name for your unborn child as every name reminds  
you of a student.

* When you can't get your friends to listen to you, you put your hands  
on your head.

* You rate the educational value of cartoons.

* You count your life in periods of ten weeks

* You can sing all of the words to Advance Australia Fair (even the  
2nd verse!)

* You can't go anywhere without thinking 'what a great place for an  
excursion!'

* You don't know the date, but you know it's day 5, week 4, term 4.

* You believe the staffroom should have a Valium salt lick.

* You believe 'shallow gene pool' should have it's own box in the new  
reports.

* You believe that unspeakable evil will befall if someone says "gee,  
the kids sure are mellow today."

* Meeting a child's parents instantly answers 'why is this child like  
this?'

* You believe in the aerial spraying of Prozac.

* You get a warm inner glow when just one child says "thank you for  
helping me."
