On Teaching High School

I've amused myself lately with the creation of a list of reasons why working as a college professor is soooo much better than teaching high school.

I've been serving as a long term sub for a local high school teacher for seven weeks now. Tomorrow is my last day and as fun as this experience was, I am so ready to go.

Why teaching college is better...
1. If I don't want to start working before 8 a.m.(or noon), I don't have to.

2. No messes. No paper balls, broken pencils, bloody elbows to clean up.

3. Teenage girls in tears. In 20 years of teaching college nobody has ever cried in my class. Theyve been scared and nervous, sure. Here in the high school home room, however, I see girls cry every day. And I have no idea what to do with them!
