I dont' think people quite understand the life of a teacher. People think that we have it made because we have our summers off. Granted, this is a huge benefit of being a teacher. I can't complain about the number of vacations days that we have a year, but we earn them! For example, one of my students punched a little girl in the stomach and said that he wants to kill her. He also went on a rampage of thowing various items at kids; chairs, markers, plants....Yes, I teach 1st grade.

There are certain times of the year when you can't wait for the year to end. Now is one of them. The kids are ready for summer. Their behaviors begin to elevate and they can't seem to ever stop talking. You know, I can't blame them. I want to be on summer vacation too.
