I get to work tomorrow!

Finally, after seven days (in case you've lost count--2 sick leave days, 3 snow days, and a weekend) I get to be a teacher again. The roads are clear, the parking lots and school driveways (incredibly, that kept us out today) are clear, and everyone is sick of being at home.

I've worn out the internets the past few days. One of the teacher boards I frequent had a post by a teacher that made me laugh. Maybe everyone who says we need to overhaul education has come across a teacher who expresses herself this way:

I used to spiratically jump on here and participate but haven't in a while.

Is anyone else picturing this teacher on a mini-trampoline, jumping and doing three-sixties as she participates? Clearly she meant "sporadically". It's frightening to think that to her ear "spiratically" sounded the same.

Maybe she's a closet pirate freak.

Maybe she does jump on a trampoline.

Or maybe she's one of those teachers who took the Praxis test half a dozen times, finally passing on her last possible attempt.

Those teachers are out there. They think they can teach primary grades because "First grade is so easy!"

They make me hang my head in shame.
