Why Teaching is Actually Awesome!

February 9, 2011 By Rachel

Top Ten Reasons Why Teaching is Actually Awesome:
10.  Free Milk!  
Yep, that’s right.  
I get to bring home those leftover milk cartons.  
I can’t remember the last time I bought milk at the store.  Hehe!
9. You get to turn anything into a song!  
From lining up…to remember your even and odd numbers!  Who doesn’t love silly songs?!
8. You get home in time to watch Oprah! 
 I mean really…what other normal job gets this?  
What will I do when her final season is over?!
7. School Supplies!  
I get so giddy over them! 
6. Teacher Discounts!  Love it!  
My favorite is Barnes & Noble.
5. Kids ask the funniest things!  
Do I have a brain?  Yes, sweety, you do.  
(true question…although he said, “I gotta brain?”)
4. Hugs!  
There at least one child at anytime during the day that wants to give you a hug. 🙂
3. The power of the “Teacher look”  
Gets them every time!
2.  The “ah-ha” moment.  
When a kid finally realizes how to do something…it’s just priceless!
1. June, July, and August!  
Still, the best reason teaching is fun…SuMmEr BrEaK!!

      Hi, Rachel! I love your positive list. 🙂 Teaching is such a hard job and it's easy to focus on the negative. Kudos to you for thinking good thoughts. 🙂 Thanks so much for the visit to my blog. 🙂

      Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog! I am a teacher, or used to be, (I now get to stay home with my three kiddos), but I still find myself missing it sometimes. I really loved all the sweet and silly valentines I would get from my students.

      I really love all your positive and fun posts, I am your newest follower, I would love a follow back if you would like.
