"Oh, this is wonderful," says the school teacher to St. Peter, "Is
this where I'll be staying?"

"No, this is the doctors' area," replied St. Peter.

They continue the journey and come to another beautiful neighborhood.
Again everyone is outside socializing. People are on tennis courts,
swimming in pools, etc.  "My, this IS paradise," gushed the teacher,
"Is this my  neighborhood?"

"No, no, the teacher's area is next."

They move on among the clouds until they reach and equally beautiful
neighborhood, but no one is outside. No one is visible anywhere and
the houses appear to be closed and empty.

"Well, here we are," said St. Peter with a smile, "Isn't this a fine
place to be?"

"Yes," replied the teacher with noticeable disappointment in her
voice.

"Don't many teachers make it to heaven? I don't see anyone else here?"

"Sure, we get lots of teachers. Don't worry they'll all be here
tomorrow. They're just down in hell for another inservice."

From: "Wanda S Jones" <wjones@goodnet.com>
.Twas the Night Before School Starts

Twas the Night Before School Starts
from Ron Yorgason

T'was the night before school starts
And all through the place,
Not a smile was seen
On any kid's face.

Our bags were all stuffed
With our notebooks brand new,
And rulers and pencils
With erasers to chew.

Mournfully we
All crawled into bed,
Knowing too well
That the 'good life' was dead.

Then mom came in whistling
And kissed us goodnight,
With a bright cheery voice
That didn't seem right.
 

The night dragged on slowly
I just couldn't sleep,
For fear that my math teacher
Would be a real creep.

Or maybe a bully
Would give me a shove,
Or even more evil things
Than I could think of.

When from in the next room
There arose such a clamber,
My mom yelled, "I'm FREE!"
"I'm free 'till next summer!"

This must be a plot
By conspiring moms,
Who just want a break
To experience 'calm.'

Oh, must I go through it?!
How can I go on?
I want to escape
Run off to Saigon!

Nine months is too long
To suffer through school
The classes so rough
And teachers who're cruel.

"Come Donald! Come Conner!
Come Henry VanStation!
Come up to the board,
Do your multiplication!"

"And Julie, stop talking!
And Jimmy, wake up!
And Mary, right now,
Don't do your makeup!"

Teachers ever are hounding
They just never quit.
You do something wrong,
They go into a fit.

And so every year
About this same time,
I lie in bed sleepless
And just moan and whine.

Until morning comes,
And I hear my mom say,
"Good luck with your school!
And have a nice day!"

Job Responsibility

"Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go into that
room with  all those kids, and fill their every waking moment with a
love for learning.

Not only that, I'm to instill a sense of pride in
their ethnicity, behaviorally modify disruptive behavior, and observe
them for signs of abuse. I am to fight the war on drugs and
sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for guns
and raise their self-esteem.

I'm to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair
play, how and where to register to vote, how to balance a checkbook and how
to apply
for a job, but I am never to ask if they are in this country illegally.

I am to check their heads occasionally for lice, maintain a safe
environment, recognize signs of potential antisocial behavior,
offer advice, write letters of recommendation for student
employment and scholarships, encourage a respect for the cultural diversity of
others, and, oh yeah, teach, always making sure that I give the girls in my
class fifty percent of my attention.

I'm required by my contract to be working on my own time (summers
and evenings) and at my own expense towards additional
certification, advanced certification and a master's degree, to sponsor the
cheerleaders or the sophomore class (my choice) and after school.  I am to
attend committee and faculty meetings and participate in
staff development training to maintain my current certification and
employment status.

I am to be a paragon of virtue larger than life, such
that my very presence will awe my students into being obedient
and respectful of authority. I am often given "advise" on how to
do my job by every person ever to have gone to school before
and I am  to do it with just a piece of chalk, a few books
and a bulletin board, and on a starting salary that qualifies my
family for food stamps in many states.

Is that all?"

Two Teacher Funnies
  from : Scott
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture."Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, he's a doctor.'" A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher; she's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Tryingto make the matter clearer, he said, "Now, boys, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face." Yes, sir," the boys said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "'Cause your feet ain't empty."

A big smile and thank you to
Scott for sharing this with me and allowing me to share it with you!

Attention Children:
The Bathroom Door is Closed.

Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions. Wait until I get out. Yes, it is locked. I want it that way. It is not broken, I am not trapped. I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times, since you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was in there, but it's been 10 years and I want some PRIVACY. Do not ask me how long I will be. I will come out when I am done. Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door. Do not go running back to the phone yelling She's in the BATHROOM! Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in. Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them. This was funny when you were two. Do not slide pennies, Legos, or notes under the door. Even when you were two this got a little tiresome. If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still talking as you face this closed door, please turn around, walk away, and wait for me in another room. I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.
And yes, I still love you.

If I had my child to raise over again
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger paint more and point fingers less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch,
and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields
and gaze at more stars.

I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.

I would be firm less often
and affirm much more.

I'd model less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.

MY FOOTSTEPS?
  An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her then
four-year-old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her
stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began
playing with it. 'Be still, my heart!' thought my friend.  'My daughter wants
to follow in my footsteps!'  Then the child spoke into the instrument:
"Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"
TOP

A WISE LITTLE GIRL
  A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr.
Sugarbrown's daughter." Her mother told her this was wrong; she must say,
"I'm Jane Sugarbrown." The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said,
"Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?" She replied, "I thought I was, but
mother says I'm not."

  TOO ROUGH
  A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?"
Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough."
The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, "If I can find
a smooth one, can I play with him?"

  THUMB SUCKING
  A boy had reached four without giving up the habit of sucking his thumb,
though his mother had tried everything from bribery to reasoning to painting
it with lemon juice to discourage the habit. Finally she tried threats,
warning her son that, "If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is
going to blow up like a balloon." Later
  that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting
on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke
to her saying, "Uh-oh ... I know what you've been doing."

  SO KEEP THE SINGING DOWN, OK?
  A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way
to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"  One
bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

  THE PRESSED LEAF
  A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, he
looked at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the
Bible and he picked up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a
tree that has been pressed in between pages. "Momma, look what I found!" the
boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With
astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered:
  "It's Adam's suit!"
TOP

Barney
     A four year old was at the pediatrician for a check up.
     as the doctor looked down her ears with an otoscope,
     he asked, "Do you think I'll find Big Bird in here?"  The
     little girl stayed silent.  Next, the doctor took a tongue
     depressor and looked down her throat.  He asked, "Do
     you think I'll find the Cookie Monster down there?"
     Again, the little girl was silent.  Then the doctor put a
     stethoscope to her chest.  As he listened to her heart
     beat, he asked, "Do you think I'll hear Barney in there?"
     "Oh, no!" the little girl replied.  "Jesus is in my heart.
     Barney's on my underpants."
TOP

Discouraged?
     As I was driving home from work one day, I stopped to
     watch a local Little League baseball game that was
     being played in a park near my home.

     As I sat down behind the bench on the first base line, I
     asked one of the boys what the score was.  "We're
     behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.
     "Really," I said.  "I have to say you don't look very
     discouraged."  "Discouraged?" the boy asked with
     a puzzled look on his face.  "Why should we be
     discouraged?  We haven't been up to bat yet,"

A MOTHER KNOWS

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate Julie was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate, and this only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the roommate than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Julie and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Julie came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I can't find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter, just to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote:

"Dear Mother,
I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle from my house, but the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Love,
John."
 

Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read:
"Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Julie, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Julie, but the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.

Love,
Mom."

THE THINGS YOU LEARN FROM KIDS

Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke - lots of it.
A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a forty year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades they can ignite.
A 4 year olds' voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing a superman cape.
It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
Baseballs make marks on ceilings.
You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.
When using the ceiling fan as a bat you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit.
A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
The glass in windows (even double pane) does not stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does not leak - it explodes.
A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot house 4 inches deep.
Lego's will pass through the tract of a 4 year old. Duplo's will not.
Play Dough And microwave should never be used in the same sentence.
Super glue is forever.
McGuyver can teach us many things we won't want to know. Ditto Tarzan.
No matter HOW much Jell-O you put in a pool, you still can't walk on water.
Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
Neither do embroidered bed sheets.
Marbles in gas tanks make a lot of noise when driving.
Always look in the oven before you turn it on.
Plastic toys do not like ovens.
Always look in the dryer before using it.
A 4 year old can break an arm in a rotating dryer.
The fire department in Charleston has at least a 5 minute response time.
The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
It will, however, make cats dizzy.
Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
Quiet does not necessarily mean there's nothing to worry about.
A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life.
Unfortunately, mostly in retrospect.
