1) Don't put something as your Facebook update that is targeted towards one person, and try to be sneaky about it. If I am the one that cancelled and you are upset about it, TELL ME, don't say, "If one more person cancels then blah blah blah..."
2) If we are in a busy parking lot, or a busy road and I let you in, JUST WAVE to acknowledge that I did something that I didn't have to do, but wanted to. Not too much to ask.
3) If you make a commitment to something, keep it.
4) I am not your free babysitter, don't send your child down to my house everyday expecting that I am going to feed her and let her in when it rains. I have 2 kids to raise on my own.
5) I will admit that as a teacher I get paid very well, and have some pretty great holidays. However, to those of you who think it is easy, that we are overpaid, and have too many holidays, just come and be a teacher for one day. (I will even make you the lesson plans). In one day of teaching I have had, 37 kids in one classroom. 10 of them have their own education plan so I change every lesson 10 different ways to ensure that each child gets the best education possible. I have 2 on medication so I am a nurse administering meds . I have 1 with an allergy so I must ensure that there are no nuts or nut products in all of those lunches. I am a psychologist to the child who is having troubles at home (it doesn't get left at the door you know). I am a dietitian ensuring that each child gets something to eat so they can learn to the best of their abilities. I am a disciplinarian to 37 wonderful kids who all have different and unique personalities, and don't always get along. All of this gets done BEFORE they even sit down for their first lesson of the day.
6) Pull over for an EMS vehicle when they are speeding behind you with their lights on!!! Come on people it is not a hard thing to do and will NOT cause you to be late.
7) Do not tell me how I am parenting wrong or look at me strangely in the mall when I have to reprimand my child. There is NOT a perfect child out there, or a perfect parent for that matter.
8) People thinking that everything in the world is black or white and cannot believe that there are times when things are GREY!! There are times when the answer cannot be yes or no, but a maybe will have to do, that is OK!
9) Don't say mean things about me behind my back, and when I confront you about them you will not acknowledge that you said them. Own up to the things you say or don't say them at all.
10) Getting red lights when you are in a rush, and green all the time when you have no place in particular to go.
I hope that you can relate to some of these, and if not then, don't do #9. The journey continues......
