How Do You Know You Are A Teacher by Jeff Foxworthy

I saw this on FaceBook this morning, and had to 'pin' it, now I am putting it on my bog.  It actually came from Diary of a Public School Teacher's blog.  How true are these statements???!!!


I walked into the copy room and this was sitting on a table with the words: “This is a must READ “.
I agree, and I think it is also a “Must SHARE!” I Googled it and realized it has been around for years, but I got a laugh out of most of them!:)

5. You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes.
6. You’ve trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period.
