You’ve Been Teaching Too Long When You…
a bit like “You Might Be in Education if…” but here goes.
You’ve Been Teaching Too Long When You…
- Think that canteen chocolate bars are “real food”
- Know more than five uses for milk cartons.
- Sing the school song while ironing!
- Think that going to the supermarket is a special trip out.
- Start setting homework for yourself.
- Call your Principal, ‘darling’.
- Records your school’s address on competition forms.
- Think that staff meetings are the best fun you’ve had all week.
- Cry with joy when your back-to-back photocopying comes out the right way up.
Re: Number 3
Not while ironing, but whenever I hear the song My Grandfather’s Clock, I can’t help but sing the Wellington Public School school song, which follows the same tune. I can never remember the real words, much to my son’s disappointment, as he is currently practising the song for the Dubbo Eisteddfod.
