Miss Mac, is Uranus big?

Seriously. This joke still around. I promise you. I heard it today during 4th period.

So this week is teacher appreciation week. That's right, we get a whole week my friends! Aside from children asking me about the size of my anus, I do feel slightly appreciated this week. Our parents group has left a small present in our mailboxes the past two days and a kid said thank you when I picked up his pencil from the floor.

Teachers around the blog world are taking this opportunity to share those talents that don't necessarily show up on our resumes. I borrowed (stole) a few from fellow super-teachers as well as added a few of my own. Enjoy!

* I can hold my pee for hours on end. HOURS.

* I can hold my teaching focus while watching a mouse scurry across the back of my classroom, drawing no attention to the visiting vermin.

* I can keep a straight face when a 12-year-old boy compliments my ass.

* I can stand on a desk, staple student art work to the wall, take attendance and teach a lesson all at the same time.

* I can come up with every possible combination of seating arrangements for a given amount of desks in one room.

* I can tell just by looking at a kid if he/she washed his/her hands after using the bathroom.

* I can be cursed out, beat up and told I'm hated over and over again and still show up the next morning for work.

* I can teach in a closet (and still raise test scores)

* I can make 24 hormonal teenagers listen to me.

Now it's time to pat yourselves on the back! Go ahead! What are your super-teacher powers?

xoxo,
Mac
