...tuckered her out!

Are You a Real Teacher??

A friend of mine sent this to me, and I have to laugh outright when I read it...

If you agree with at least 10 of the following, you must be a real teacher.

You believe the staff room should be equipped with a Valium salt lick.
You believe chocolate is a food group.
You can tell it's a full moon without ever looking outside.
You believe that unspeakable evil will befall you if anyone says, "Boy, the kids are sure mellow today."
When out in public, you feel the urge to snap your fingers at a child.
You have no time for a life from August through June.
Putting all "A's" on a report card would make your life SO much easier.
You think people should be required to get a government permit before being allowed to reproduce.
You believe in the aerial spraying of Prozac.
You encourage a parent to check into home schooling.
You believe no one should be permitted to reproduce without having taught in a middle school for at least five years.
You can't have children because there isn't any name you can hear that wouldn't elevate your blood pressure.
You can "sense" gum.
You think caffeine should be available to staff in IV form.
Meeting a child's parents instantly answers the question, "Why is this kid like that?"
Your personal life comes to a screeching halt at report card time.
You have been seen grading papers in cars, during football games, and during commercials.
You cheer when you hear that April 1 is not a school day.
You understand that the office secretary and head custodian have more power than the principal does.
You can predict which parents will show up for Open House.
