\"Teaching\"Teacher Appreciation Week is upon us, and just in time, as Spring fever has begun to bloom (in both students and<\/em> teachers!). To celebrate with you I’ve selected the following videos to inspire and entertain; some will make you laugh, some will make you cry–just like teaching. Pass them along as you see fit.<\/p>\n

The Teacher Retirement Song<\/strong> – Lyrics reproduced below the video<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

Tears and fears and feeling small
\nThe torture starts up every fall:
\nThe awful things that I’ve been called
\nIn classrooms every day.<\/p>\n

The fire alarm could wake the dead
\nWater fountains spewing lead
\nWhile ceiling tiles fall on my head
\nI’ve thought of school that way<\/p>\n

I’ve looked at school from both sides now
\nI think this year I’ll take a bow
\nFrom head to toe I’m stiff and sore
\nI really can’t take school anymore<\/p>\n

The hungry sixth-grade mind inquires
\nBy seventh, they’re accomplished liars
\nBy eighth, they just might slash your tires
\nI’ve looked at kids that way<\/p>\n

Some will start fights in the halls
\nOthers hide in bathroom stalls
\nBut won’t leave your room when nature calls
\nThey’re all special in their way<\/p>\n

I’ve looked at kids from both sides now
\nFrom short and tall
\nAnd I must avow
\nAt least at my age, I can’t recall
\nThe majority of them at all<\/p>\n

Long vacations, decent pay,
\nA seven-hour working day,
\nInservice naps and fog delays;
\nSome see this job that way<\/p>\n

So now my colleagues think I’m strange.
\nThey can’t believe I need a change.
\nBut if you ask me, they’re all deranged
\nFor coming back each day.<\/p>\n

I’ve looked at work from both sides now
\nFrom rich and poor and still somehow
\nI’ve no illusions left at all.
\nI really won’t miss work at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
