Teacheritis

You know the feeling you get...the one when you have only 5 weeks of school left before summer break...when the state assessment is almost over...when you can't tell who is more restless, you or the kids...when the spring weather is bringing warmer days and sunshine...when the rest of the working force begins to hate you because they don't have summers off? Yeah, that feeling....aw, man, it feels good. Sorry to the rest of the working world but as you know teachers have taken a vow of poverty and a vow of endless summer fun. Bring it on!

Danielle and I happened to be present one Sunday morning at a church with a special class for "young adults" about like in the "real" world. They had made a list of differences between the lifestyles of the typical college student and the typical working person. It was mostly an opportunity for the teachers to gloat about their adulthood. They were very insistent that the "real" world is not divided into two semesters and you don't get summers off. My response? I hope I never live there.
