You know you're a teacher when...

You know you're a teacher when...

• You repeat any direction 5 times in 3 different ways and then repeat it 13 more times over the course of an hour
• You get to school a 1/2 hour before anyone else so you can use the copy machine before it's broke for the day
• You ignore kids when they walk up to you and wait for them to sit back down
• You respond to multiple pronunciations of your name without correcting any of them
• You hate assemblies and school concerts because they put you behind the pacing chart
• You can cover the entire history of the War of 1812 in one 45 minute lesson
• You say no to anyone who asks to get a drink or go to the bathroom
• You ask if anyone has questions and then re-ask the kid you are about to call on if it is a question or a story
• You despise extra curricular activities that pull your students out of class while you are teaching
• You wake up and randomly count the days until the soonest break (Friday, MLK day, 1/2 day, etc.)
• You thoroughly love what you do and the students you teach but no one else can make you so annoyed or frustrated in such a short period of time
