Aloyisius
last thing I thought I'd do but grew into it and loved it
10:25 am
cybernan
Don't think you would want to be one now, ru --- kids are too undisciplined and parents expect the teachers to do the lparenting for them
10:25 am
Aloyisius
marine biology to oenology
10:26 am
rururocks
i did get to teach for 12 years (wine classes) it was a ton of fun for me

10:26 am
hokie carla
I thought I wanted to teach too after leaving the biz world. My former teacher dad counseled me not to.
10:26 am
hokie carla
I subbed one day in a preschool and was like, nope. :D

I never got in trouble and was always told to "take names" when the teacher left the room, except in 8th grade I got a paddling when another girl handed me my ink pen that I dropped in the floor. that teacher was a real tyrant
10:34 am
rururocks
i never had a teacher hit me that i can remember
10:34 am
rururocks
i did have to sit outside the classroom a lot though :D
10:35 am
hokie carla
one of my friends got 37 paddlings that year. we had K-7 elem and 9-12 high school. 8th grade was all by itself in a really old college. it was 4 elem schools coming together and the teachers were really punishment happy.
10:36 am
hokie carla
one time our gym teacher sent one of my best friends to the office because she said she wasn't dressing out that day. my cousin yelled out he was an old fart, so he sent her too. LOL good times.
