We need a time out


This past Friday I substitute taught at the boys school for PE. I ended up having both the boys classes during the day. Here are a few things that I learned...

1. Every third grade girl will cry no matter what.

2. Boys need far less encouragement to play basketball.

3. Even if a game is not about scoring points kids will figure out a way to create a point system and therefore a winner.

4. When there is irrational crying nothing really helps, so just pray the forty minutes ends quickly.

5. Every kid wants to offer helpful advice about what is going on, even though you clearly have two perfectly good eyes and ears.

6. It really sucks when the teacher doesn't leave plans for you to follow.

7.Whistles are very commanding.

8. Blood gets everywhere and very quickly.

9. I have two of the best boys ever, and they're both good at basketball.

10. I never want to teach PE again.

Wow! it sounds eventful. I always thought that I would like to teach PE because you could wear sweats all day, but after your post . . .
