I don't know if you're aware of this, but you're no fun. You make your teachers work long hours, put up with punk kids, and not receive the compensation that they so much deserve. I know they say that, "Changing that one student's life is compensation enough.", but guess what? They're lying. It's really not enough. I may change my mind, but only if the following demands are met.
-No more rainy day schedules. Being with the snot-nosed brats is hard enough, but then keeping them with me all day? Really, that's just asking for some kind of violent rampage.
-Would it hurt anyone to have 3 day weekends every weekend? I am in full support of that one.
-Now this one might be pushing it, but how about scissors and glue in my classroom. No cutting or pasting in first grade is like going to the circus and there being no elephants or lions. It just shouldn't happen.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable. And if my demands are not met, you know what I'm going to do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Because I love that I have a job, I love teaching, and deep down inside (way deep down) I like the kids and they make me laugh... that is when I'm not wanting to ring their necks after they've asked me for (literally) the tenth time that day (read: hour) if they can go to the bathroom.

P.S.-- Do all first graders have the bladder size of a pea? No pun intended.
